So many contradictions, l was told to only eat cooked veggies. Anyone doing research on diet for C Diff??
mhi, you said “ While I had c Diff i was eating bland food like rice bananas potatoes but heard this is bad.” What did you hear that was bad about eating those things while you had cdiff? Those are in the BRAT diet, which I thought was “standard” while fighting cdiff.
Thank you! There is a lot of info in your msg, and the similarities as well as the differences are helpful. Similar in that it took 3 weeks for me to figure out I had cdiff, that I had vanco first and metronidazole second, and eating a very bland diet during it all. Different in that you were cured after metronidazole, and I’m on my third round (2nd vanco). Similar in that I hired a dietitian a few days ago familiar with cdiff who has me eating veggies with fiber both soluble and insoluble but slowly increasing the soluble, little to no fat, protein (primarily chicken/turkey breast, salmon, very lean red meat (tho, I haven’t tried that yet), slowly introducing fruits, all while watching stools to see if there is a difference. Water or Smart Water, but no milk, tho i do have Almond milk once in awhile, and I’ve stopped cheese, which I ate a lot of during first two courses of meds. All my veggies are steamed or roasted very well done(easily mushed). And I just started raw cucumbers without the skin. I am starting sauerkraut but just a tablespoon a day to see how it affects me. I might try kefir and miso next week if things go well. Did you use the nutritionist while you had cdiff or after? Did you use sachromyces Boulardi or a bacteria based probiotic while you took both medicines?
