Did you have C- diff from an antibiotic? If so what antibiotic where you on?

Yes. I contracted C-diff from taking Clyndamycin, prescribed by my dentist. This happened in February of this year and I'm still trying to heal. I was told it can take up to a year. I am very grateful things are not worse. I read some of the stories on this site and it is awful what this antibiotic has done to so many, too many. I am fortunate that one round of Vanco apparently got rid of the C-diff. I understand it's an imbalance of the bacteria, where the "bad" bacteria takes over, and that's the C-diff. Our bodies need the balance going on in our intestines. Jacque

Clindamycin post op at the end of January I guess. But I didn't start having diarrhea will May so I'm a little stumped.
