Need some encouragement Part 2

Postby okaylo » Mon Oct 10, 2016 12:27 pm

Beth, I think you are right regarding the meds, the cdiff, and the prep and how it takes a huge toll on your body...

For anyone who has had an FMT, did you feel like your body was going through a detox after? I have urgent diarrhea every morning and it feels like my body is trying to flush out all of the medications and bad stuff that's been in there for such a long period of time. Has anyone taken a medication to bind them back up such as Questran? I've taken this in the past but don't know if I should now or just let my body do what it's going to do. The diarrhea is so uncomfortable and the feelings of sickness that are accompanying it are awful.

As I recall , Questran doesn't have any antimicrobial properties so I think it's safe to be used after FMT but you should discuss it with the doctor first.

Thanks Georgina. I'm going to start a new post as this is a new topic.
