C Diff

[Demrbee]

I came down with diarrhea a few weeks ago and was diagnosed with C Diff. I'm on flagyl to kill it and while it's better it's not gone. Has anyone had this and if so, what did you eat? Did you take any supplements or anything that helps? I'm eating as bland a diet as I can and drinking gallons of water and gatorade. The flagyl causes diarrhea so it's kind of a catch 22 situation.

I don't know much about flagyl or C Diff, but with most drugs that can wreck the GI tract, you should eat a good yogurt every day, with lots of live bacteria, and buy a good probiotic supplement. Eat/take them several hours before/after your flagyl.
Did the doc tell you to eat a bland diet?

Take good care of yourself, Demrbee, and take those probiotics.
