I also take Florastor and Align daily (probiotics) and several supplements to help my gut heal. Vitamin D, vitamin A, Zinc, L-glutamine, omega 3, b complex, vitamin c, and quercetin. I put a scoop of collagen peptides in my peppermint tea.

@guthealth Were you actually diagnosed with Cdiff or another type of colitis? And have you tried Inulin? My cardiologist suggested Inulin after I told him about the Cdiff relapses. Inulin feeds the good bacteria. I also take Vitamin D and have for years after having a melanoma removed almost 20 years ago. And I just started taking collagen a few months ago. My gastroenterologist is the one who told me to take Florastor which I believe is key to using the correct probiotic for Cdiff. Cdiff patients need a probiotic that will not dissolve with the acid in our stomach. The Cdiff spores live in the intestinal tracts and most probiotics do little to fight those.

I ran across across your posts here in Mayo Clinic.org concerning C. Diff. I’m wondering how you made out with the structure of foods you were given by your Nutritionist? I was discovered to have C.Diff the first part of August 2023 and don’t have that awful diarrhea anymore but my gut definitely isn’t back to normal and my Dr. Said I didn’t need the special antibiotics made for C diff and told me to just take my probiotic I was already taking?! I think mine was caused by antibiotics due to much dental work.(they all want you to take antibiotics and it’s certain procedures but never again will I take broad spectrum antibiotics like Clindamycin! Thank you for posting all of this information and I’m going to start Florajen that was recommended by my Pharmacist (refrigerated and has 3 different kinds of probiotics in it) hope you recovered
