Vic- Good morning. I totally agree with you about probiotics, especially this one, Amoxicillin. I take an advanced probiotic by Alaya. That's terrible that you for such an infection! And a week! That's a long time to be in the hospital. I hope that you are well on the mend and back to life!
Amoxicillin can kill good bacteria, causing C. diff is:
C. diff can affect anyone. Most cases of C. diff occur when you’ve been taking antibiotics or not long after you’ve finished taking antibiotics.
Now that you are out of the hospital and getting on with your life has another CT been scheduled?
SIde effects are
Severe diarrhea
Fever
Stomach tenderness or pain
Loss of appetite
Nausea
Just reading these symptoms leads me to know that I'm very glad that I took a probiotic.! I take them every day, but especially when taking an antibiotic.

I had my C-difficile ten years ago and since then I have not touched any oral broad antibiotics. They actually give you another antibiotic to treat it (vancomycin) . Also one needs the right kind of probiotics.
I keep using the one I received when in the hospital. Fortunately, I did not have a reoccurrence as it can become a real problem - I bleached everything to disinfect! I always tell my doctors to only give me these broad use antibiotics if really necessary. I have not found any research on what happens to people who take antibiotics years after the last occurrence
I am doing CT scan this week so will see what is next.
