Here we go again. I got a doctor appointment tomorrow.
It is up to me to get a slide made of this omeba.
I have no health ins.,no medicare,nothing.
I am waiting on social security disability.
If they don't get me my SS they will murder me.
SS hopes I will die so they don't have to pay me anything.
I do however have a bunch of tinidazole.
We used flagyl before-( metronidazole).
Will have to stop lyme treatments,clear it up, and gorge my self on probiotics.

Have they considered trying rifaximin (xifaxan) to treat it?

my doc gave me that xifaxan three times a day for three days. i didn't really notice a difference to tell ya the truth.
but now symptoms may indicate something else.
i sure hope you get this straightened out.
try that colon care and culturelle. you can buy both at wallie world.
i take those in the morning and one critical care at night.

UGH... so sorry to hear this. I thought it was too good to be true when you said you were over it. It's a hard one to beat.
You really need some VSL#3 or Florastor. I think Florastor is the most protective for c.diff.

Maddog, I wondered if you were celebrating a little early the other day. You need to whisper when you have a suspicious elimination or success of some sx.
Darn things come back and bite you in the butt. Little pun there.

Hi,The direah has stoped again,maybe it was something I ate, it only lasted for 24 hours this time.
Now I found a great pro biotic at wallmart.
It has 6 strains of good flora.
The cool thing is it is (time release) so i can time it out between ABX for greater benifit.
And it doesent release till it is past the stomach acid.
It is called ACCUFLORA.

C.difficile has a VERY high relapse rate. Its common for this to happen because the bacteria produce spores that hatch and multiply when you stop the antibiotics. More FLagyl...longer course of it and then pulse/taper off of it.
See some of my posts in Medical Questions on this topic.
FLorastor is essential.
