C-diff
Anyone ever had c-diff? Any positive stories to be shared? Please PM me. I have dealt with hell for the last few months after having my baby- MRSA and now cdiff. Please send prayers that this round of treatment works and I am part of the group of people who don’t relapse ??

Re: C-diff
Have they given you the ointment to stick in your nose? The mersa can live in your nose and reinfect you.

Re: C-diff
My son had a pretty horrible case of it lasted many months when he was a very young toddler. His doctors were even considering a fecal transplant. Finally, after his 4th round of steroids, it was cured. I really hope that it clears up for you-it was terrible for my son!

Did you or your spouse end up getting it? Do you know where he got it from? My son is 4 months old and I’m trying to protect him . I think I have a mild case but I’m just so defeated

Re: C-diff
It sounds like you are reinfecting one another. If you are nursing, you might want to discuss stopping with your physicians. I would replace all bedding, toothbrushes, and wash every clothing item on hot water.

The MRSA was a few months ago. The cdiff is 99% from the antibiotics I took from the MRSA. My husband doesn’t have cdiff at the moment. We bleach our sheets and towels and wash on hot water. I have a call into my GI and an infectious disease doctor. I just started the medicine so hoping at the end of these 2 weeks I’m okay.

Wash hands with hot water and soap after any personal hygiene

Re: C-diff
Yes you can!!! My mother had c-diff. She was on so many antibiotics at the time. She becamse lethargic and it was almost like she had a stroke.
My mom was literally at deaths door. They gave her another medication and within a few days she was back to herself.

My son actually got C Diff from antibiotics. My husband and I did not get it. I was very careful about washing hands and doornobs.
Just a heads up- Purell and other hand sanitizers do nothing against C. Diff. The only thing that protects against C. Diff is actual soap and bleach.

Re: C-diff
Are you taking renew life probiotic with 15 ro 90 billion or more gut flora? It needs to be refrigerated, and is not inexpensive, but this works.
