Yeah the dentists do prescribe Clindamycin a lot. I have refused that antibiotic because I know about C-Diff. I do not understand why they keep prescribing it when they know what it can cause. It is something people need to pay attention to because C-Diff is serious.

I had a total knee replacement in august 2021 and surgeon recommended clindamycin before dental visits as the prosthesis in my knee is a magnet for infection should there be any opening in my gum during cleaning. So far so good. I had c diff over 10 years ago and there are certain high fiber foods I still avoid. Plus have had a few flare ups of diverticulitis which takes weeks to get over. Just progress slowly and try to keep track of what foods are irritants.
