I'm suffered for 7 days with what I thought was a bad case of the stomach flu until I went to my family doctor and they requested a stool sample and found from that that I had c-diff I believe this is the sickest I've ever been in my entire life

Stay away from antibiotics. It will only get worse if you have to use them.

Good morning. I was diagnosed with c-diff yesterday, after about 8 months of symptoms, but i never went to the dr. I feel that i got it from all the UTIs that I have had. I have also had strep twice this last year. They started me on vanco 125 mg for 10 days. I've only taken two doses thus far. But I'm fearful of recovering and what damage I have caused to my gutt and colon. I am 46 and hate to think I have to deal with all the repercussions I've caused. I'm hoping this will heal me, then i need to go to Dr to find out why I am getting so many UTIs.. i haven't get cipro for them. I have had them bad enough they turned into a kidney infection. I appreciate all the stories and comments, helps to know I'm not alone.
