Yay! So happy your test was negative (I, too, figured it would be). You're doing great. Keep hanging in there and enjoying life. Proud of you!

Great to hear the test is Negative!!! It is a long journey, day by day we will get there and it will hopefully be a distant memory!

I am so happy to hear your test was negative!!!! As for eczema I have been using eucerin every night globbed on and it helps. You should try it. Do not try Cerave it burned quite a bit. Also IBS can cause all sorts of weird stomach ups and downs. I had IBS prior to c diff and had constipation and D at different times.

Thanks, everyone! It's day by day fir sure, but hopefully one day a distant memory as Nanci said.

TowerL, I have also been told about Eucerin, any particular kind? I actually am using Cerave now..and coconut oil..and in small tough spots steroid cream.. :-(

Thanks everyone for the amazing support! We shall all beat this monster!

I use the eucerin original in the jar type. I have used two Cerave formulas and it burned quite a bit and did nothing for me. I have a prescription for a steroid but haven't filled yet. My eczema is from a lot of the hand washing.

My daughter gets terrible eczema, and we have tried many creams. Eucerin works rather well, but for her, Vanicream seems to be the best one. Vanicream was recommended by her dermatologist, as well as, her pedi. The dermatologist told us not to dry her skin completely after her bath, so keep it somewhat wet, and then apply the cream on generously to the troubled areas. I just thought I would share.
