I am using three things that seems to help. "Beano"…over the counter. I buy the Walmart brand of the Beano, it helps a lot with gas. Then I also take, Probiotic 10–I take 3 of these with every meal. I recommend taking more if you can afford them. The last thing that seems to help the most is: It is a Soluble Fiber, called: Calcium Polycarbophil. It says it is a laxative on the bottle but it doesn't make you go, it says it is a bulk forming laxative...but it slows things down a bit in the gut.…it is nothing like Bran cereal. I can't eat ANYTHING Bran. This polycarbophil has REALLY helped a lot. I take 4 tablets every meal. I have been so ill with the after effects of the over use of antibiotics and C-diff I didn't want to live anymore.
@pines Same with me! I thought I had a stomach virus. But by the third day I started feeling very weak like I was going to faint. My daughter took me to the er and that's when they tested me and said I had cdiff. None of us had any idea what they were talking about! Actually, I think it's better that I had not heard of it back then cause I might have jumped out the window! At first, they acted like I would be there for a few days. Eight days later they let me out and two days later I tested positive again! And the rest is history!
