Hi Jennie,
Thank you for replying. I have not yet tried Fidaxomicin, but I will ask my gastro about it...thanks! My gastro doc strongly feels that my bouts of diarrhea is a result of my IBS-D.

I do probiotics every day. I have noticed that my digestive system has become very sensitive to most foods. If I go on a very bland diet, I am fine, but if start to have a bit of fun with food,, then the colon gets angry.

Thank you!

I know how un-fun it is not to be able to enjoy food like you want. Dificid is more expensive than the other antibiotics for C. diff, but it was my answer. If the others work for you, that's great.

I wish you all the best in your quest for more flexibility with your food choices - I went from being a gluten-free vegan to not being able to eat any fresh fruits and veggies (only canned) and only white, processed, soft food that was fattening - all the things counterintuitive to my eating preferences, and I did that for six years - so not fun! Things are better today following surgery in 2020 - all good now, thankfully.
