Hi I wanted to give you an update. It is a positive one, so I hope it helps. My GI Doctor weaned me off of Flagyl. I took 4 x a day for a week, 3x a day for a week, 2x a day for a week, 1x a day for a week, and then every other day for a week. Then off of it. I continue and did take the following probiotics:
1. Culterelle was 2x a day now 1x a day.
2. Jarrow Formulas saccharomyces Boulardii With MOS 2x a day now 1x
3. Danactive for breakfast every morning.
4. South Beach Diet drink mix you put in water. It has Inulin, a fiber that works with probiotics and keeps you regular. (Important for me as I have Diverticulosis which led to me to C-Diff)
5. I drink at least 5 16.9 oz of water a day. I no longer use caffeine or drink soda. I am very careful with my diet. Eat 7 small meals a day. A large meal upsets my stomach.
6. I did have an occasional cramp here and there, healing from the colitis caused by the C-diff. I took Bentyl when it was really bad and it helped.
7. I walk two miles everyday/
8. All of these changes have helped me to keep off the weight I lost when I was sick with C-diff. 30 lbs. I need to lose 30 more.
My bowels are now more normal than they have ever been in my life! I feel better than I have for years. These were very minor changes. I have not had a recurrence of C-diff for 2 months. I thank God He guided me to do the right things. I wanted to post this so people can see that this disgusting disease can be beat! Don't give up! I can't say enough about probiotics. I used to have acid reflux and that is gone as well. Please don't give up hope. You can be cured!!!! Hope this helps! Best regards, Debbie
I think I may have beat this C-diff!

Yay for you!!!! I'm so happy to hear that you feel great :-) You've been really smart about taking good care of yourself, as the others on here try to do also. I think sometimes you just have to get the right combo of stuff to get it to leave. I'm very happy for you and I wish you continued good health! Karen

Congrats!
Congratulations on your success! I'm going to show my doctor your regimen in the event my latest round of Flagyl/Questran hasn't worked.
Enjoy your good health and summer.
