1 round of Flagyl - 4 mos later

Postby lupen48 » Sun Nov 20, 2016 8:02 pm

I'm a 36 year old female who contracted c diff about one week after finishing a course of clindamycin while breastfeeding. I had sx for 2 weeks, then tested positive, then took a 2 week course of flagyl (3x/day). It's now 4 months later and I haven't had a relapse. I feel very good, and I'm eating my normal diet. While taking flagyl, I reduced sugar, drank kefir, took a probiotic, and took sacch. boulardii. I still take the pills but usually do one each day or one every other day. I still drink kefir occasionally b/c I like it now! I know that 4 months is not an incredibly long time, but it feels like it has been a long while, and I wanted to share for anyone who finds this information helpful or encouraging. Hang in there!

Congrats. You are fortunate. Clindamycin is a particularly nasty med re c diff.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting! It brings hope to many newcomers who have just been diagnosed with c-diff. You are a good example of how the majority are cured after one or two rounds of meds!

Wishing you continued improvement,
Lisa
