National Jewish Med. Center

There is some thought that C. diff. is linked to the immune system. Many docs. think there is a relationship between the GI tract and general health. Some of us never had previous problems but now suffer from IBS, UTI's, frequent bouts of pneumonia, acid reflux, etc. since having C. diff.

Some C. diff. patients are given IVIG treatments to "boast" their immune systems. See the Lung Line at National Jewish Medical Center. http://www.nationaljewish.org/about/contact/lung-line. One of our posters is on the IVIG treatments. Can be very expensive.

Lung Line is a free information service for healthcare consumers provided by National Jewish Health, and the service is staffed by registered nurses who have years of clinical experience. These nurses provide educational information on lung, allergic and immune diseases to healthcare consumers who call, email or contact National Jewish Health through our website or other websites.

Since Lung Line began answering calls in 1983, the staff has provided answers to more than 1,000,000 contacts. Lung Line and Physician Line nurses also assist in the scheduling process for those interested in a new pulmonary, allergy, rheumatology or immunology evaluation at National Jewish Health.

We took our younger son there years ago and were impressed. Medical centers seldom impresss me.
