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?

I used the nutritionist after I should have before but I didn’t. I took sachromyces Boulardii and lactobacilis strains probiotic. I too am having almond milk with my steel cut oat in the morning. I ate lots of sauerkraut for almost couple of months but stopped it now because I am on a no salt diet no onions no garlic and low FODMAP. I am eating lots of salmon white fish and chicken. I found red meat is not sitting well with me anymore. Eating lots of fruits and lactose free cheeses and lactose free 2% Greek yogurt. What probiotic are you on?
