C Diff and H Pylori
Posted: Sat May 05, 2018 3:23 pm
Hi C Diff friends...
I’m a 38 yr old female, previously healthy. Just wondering if anyone has experienced co-existing H Pylori and C Diff infections? I just found out I have antibiotic resistant H Pylori (it’s made me massively ill for years) so my docs at Mayo have me on a Levaquin triple therapy PLUS a prophylactic Vancomycin dose, since I was just admitted to the ICU with C Diff 6 months ago. The infection had gone septic and I almost didn’t make it.
All together, I’ve been through H P treatment 3 X, and C Diff 3 X. I can’t work and its hard not to get really depressed. My husband and I want to get pregnant but it’s hard to do with so much illness.
