This infection nearly killed my father. He had fulminate toxic megacolon as a result. It was all caused by those hospital doctors who repeatedly gave my father antibiotics for an infection which was not needed at all. He had a drug reaction to amiodarone causing orchitis, which i actually diagnosed not the medics. They refused to believe me eventhough its true, so it wasnt until my fathers stay at the hospital concluded that they stopped his amiodarone. Still no infection all blood tests revealed nothing yet they discharged him with trimethoprim another strong antibiotic for another 14 days. I told my father throw them away, but he didnt and listened to those medics. His orchitis stopped because he stopped taking the amiodarone as i told him it would. Anyway this set up the best environment for CDiff, and he was in hospital 2 weeks later, after massive abouts of diarrhea and collapsing in his bedroom. I want to sue the hospital for what they did. What saved him was my insistence on having FMT. He had 2 doses and it saved his life.

@@ZeroToFinals yes it was indeed. My father has adopted a carnivore diet like myself and has had great success in terms of increasing his EF to between 40 and 50 per cent. It's been an amazing transformation. His doctors prescribed statins, I told him to throw them away. His cholesterol was very low as was his triglycerides yet they insisted on giving him statins. He was on blood thinners, which I have told him to reduce as well as his dose of bisoprolol. His BP is now 125/67 and he no longer gets dizzy spells which the meds caused. His doctors dont understand that when on a carnivore diet, so many chemical changes occur. His doctors want to give him an SGLT2 but again I told him no. Why would any doctor prescribed that drug when it could cause a dangerous reactive ketoacidosis. Insane. Carbs and seed based oils are the most toxic substances anyone can eat. I encourage everyone to try the carnivore diet.

I'm very sorry about your father. I'm not a health professional. I am a daughter how carried her mother through C-diff twice and puenmonia with a MRSA which was all thanks to the hospital. I don't think doctors are the ones to blame. I don't think they realize where C-diff actually came from. I recall talking to a doctor about my mother taking antibiotics in pill form. She had an allergic reaction and thus had to do IV antibiotic teartment the doctors said, and I believe he was truthfull, "don't worry these antibiotics will kill everything." Now in my honest opinion I believe doctors were miss lead into believing this. They truly believe that C-diff is highly contagious. I on the other hand after spending every waking hour for over a month with my mom in the SNF while she was given the hair of the dog in liquid form to fight C-Diff. I never caught it. I believe C-Diff is induced by antibiotics. To much of a good thing is not always good. I'd love to see a study done on Vancomycin to see if it actually does kill all the bugs, good and bad. Here in America we now give probiotics to patients while receiving IV antibiotics. We are saving lives. However, I have recently discovered that they do not give probiotics to patients in the UK or Germany. I'm still waiting on a response from my cousin in Australia. I am trying to change that. Did you know that some pill form antibiotics also cause C-Diff? Please take probiotics with any type of antibiotics unless you are allergic to probiotics.

I would love to see a study on vancomycin and other IV antibiotics to see if they really does kill all bugs good and bad...Or does it, as I believe, let one bad bug run rampant in the intestines thereby causing C-Diff?

Regarding management there's also the use of oral metronidazole for c diff infections. Why it wasn't mentioned here, if i may ask?

@ZeroToFinals 10 ай бұрын

Good question. Yes, it certainly was used commonly in the past. I think it has fallen out of the guidelines as vancomycin and fidaxomicin are better

When my mother was in the hospital with a bladder infection I noticed nearly every patients door had a yellow tag warning of infectious desease My mother then got C- diff twice. The majority of C-DIFF recepients are women. Ask yourself why? Because women are more prone to bladder infections due to poop in the vaginal area. This is the bacteria that causes bladder infections. C-DIFF is a byproduct of trying to get rid of the infection. Here in California we now give probiotics to patients receiving IV antibiotics and I am here to witness that the doors are no longer covered with yellow tags and people are living through their VI antibiotic treatment s and going home. I'm fact SNF's are nearly empty because people here are no longer being sent to SNF's for hospital after care for C-diff.

Can I ask a question? I have fibromyalgia, but have had 3 bacterial infections in the last year. Started with salmonella a year aga, SIBO 3 months ago, and then C diff. Antibiotics from the first two weakened my immune system. I am not on Vancomycin for C diff and have a few days left. Things have improved...we will see if it comes back. My question is, how long do I stay away from large gatherings like church, football games, because my good bacteria is down to near zero? Couldn't I be susceptible to anything right now? How long will it take to build back up good bacteria with probiotics every day?

I told my Dr I didn’t want to take Omeprazole because I’ve been on broad spectrum antibiotics for the past 2 years (with only a few months break off and on during that time.) I said specially because I’m concerned about c diff. she said “well have you been exposed to c diff?” I said “I don’t think so but I don’t know.” I’m confused. Do you get c diff FROM the omeprazole or is it something that if you already had it then omeprazole can make it come back?
