My post was placed last month…I am still fighting c-diff. Everytime I try to step down off the antibiotic I get sick again. I have been taking Florajen3 tablets each day. They are High Potency Probiotic suppose to be the same as 10 cups of yougurt. From everything I have read and researched it is important to heal from the inside out before your body can fight the spores the c-diff leave. The antibiotic medication (Vancomycin 125 mg)I am on only kills the bacteria but will not touch the spores. They have nothing out there that will from what I am told. If anyone has heard different let me know. Please contact me at elenablueeyes@comcast.net Thanks

My family Dr put me on Cefdinir (generic for Omnicef) for a sinus infection in October 2009. I have taken Omnicef before with no issues. The generic version made my stomach invert and dumped the bacteria into my colon. I have been on antibiotics since then. This is my 3rd round of dropping off stool samples to confirm c-diff. It takes at least 2 days to get the answer back from the lab. It seems each time I need to do this it is on a Thursday and I am made to wait until Monday to find out. I have lost weight, not to mention can not sleep because I am going to the bathroom all night and day. I never heard of this before but I now understand there are lots of other people out there that has gotten this bacteria. I feel the drug company Abbott should be made to tell people of the serverity of taking this. My GI Dr said this does not happen to everyone and of course i told him but it happened to me. I think it is happening to many more people then what is disclosed. Are there any pending lawsuits regarding this company that caused this bacteria in my body?

I recently was put on the anti-biotic Cipro without even getting cultured by my Dr. I presented with diareah for a week and a half. They did a blood test, they told me to see if it was bacterial. Meanwhile they put me on Cipro. The bloods came back normal, but I had to finish a whole course of Cipro which was not easy. They told me that it was probably viral. I asked if Cipro treated virals, and they said yes. I looked it up online and it said no. I’m writing this to let others know not to let your Dr. just put you on a powerful anti-biotic without first doing a culture. They didn’t even want to do a stool test when I suggested it. I have no idea what I had. I just hope it doesn’t come back.
