Taking Calcium supplement while on Dificid?

Postby Ali-Mar » Wed Apr 29, 2020 10:41 am

This article suggests taking calcium supplements while you are on antibiotics treatment for C-Diff
It suggest, the calcium will cause the Spores to germinate so the antibiotics can kill it... I am thinking of adding 600mg calcium supplement to my diet, while i am on my 3rd day on Dificid.

Any thought on that?
