Re: Clostridium difficile

Hi Leesa, I read your story and I can feel for you. I was in the hospital back on Jan 14 for 3 wks for a colan resection, took out 14", and on so so many anti-B's. It has left me with C/Diff. I've put up with this or over 4 months now and I too am sick of it.
The drs only want to give you more anti-B's and I refuse to take them. I went to the health food store and bought, over the counter, the BEST help I've been given.
Drs were giving me meds for high Cholesterol, which I don't have, but a side effect was part constipation, helped for a while but then the cramping started to the point I just about couldn't handle it. Anyway, I bought 2 herbs that I promise you has helped me tremendously. Multidophilus-12, has to be kept in the refridgerator, $16.00 and Saccharomyces Boulardll+ Moss. (or Boulard if they don't the Saccharmoyces, or you can go on line and order it. I think it was $20.00 + s&h I ordered mine from a company named Jarrow)
They're both probiotic. They're both good bacteria which is needed in the bowels, but the anti-B's kills them, these 2 herbs put them back in and helps ease the diarreha. I take Mulitdophilus-12 3-4 X's a day & Saccharomyces once. At 1 point I couldn't leave the house for wks, going up to 31 X's a day. YES!! unreal, huh? No rest, no sleep, just bathroom "duties". When I had a dr appointment, I'd end of having to stop somewhere along the way before I got to the appointment. EVERYTHING I did had to planned almost to the minute every single day for over 3 months. Since I've been taking the 2 herbs, I'm down to 8-15 X's a day, depending on what I eat. I've been keeping a food journal and have found a lot of triggers that cause major flare ups. I too have lost weight since January, 75 pounds, which the drs got a little concerned, but with all the diarreha, we loose nutrition, get dehydrated, and weak. I feel for you cause I KNOW what it's like & about. It's no picnic. I'm still not able to go back to work because of it. It can be very painful and damaging..sometimes I still have to just go to bed in order to rest the bowels & relieve pressure. I don't know anything about the bowel cleansing you asked about but do know those 2 herbs helped me more than I can say. Hope I've been some help to you. Makes me feel better just knowing I'm not alone. You take care and I'll be praying for you. be blest
