Yup, I can relate. Last September my hubby and I were traveling out west, mostly Montana in our RV & I git not only cdiff but ecoli! We are always so careful with clean water that is triple filtered so obviously it wad a food source. This is always a fun bathroom experience in an RV traveling!
Couldn’t wait to get home. Treated by Gastro bit it took so long even after the gold standard top antibiotic. By January I went back again & Dr. said it is post infectious IBS. Id have to be patient. He did give me a drug called Cholestipol that actually helped a bit with cramping & watery diarrhea.
Fast forward March; cdiff recurrence. UGH!! But in all fairness, I have autoimmune disease that played into my immune system not being able to handle the cdiff that is in all our GI systems. I was actually in a huge autoimmune firestorm & very sick. My body couldn’t handle anything! I ended up at Mayo in AZ for 2 weeks. They ate AMAZING!!!
Is There anyway you could try to get into a Mayo Gastroenterologist? There are Mayo associated clinics popping up all over besides the 3 hospitals around the country.
They are doing amazing research work on the gut especially now.
Even if not keep going with finding a new GI. You really have to be your own best advocate. You deserve not to be dismissed!!
I wish you lot of luck & good health.
