Hi @gingerw 🥰
Thank you so much for letting me know about your husband's successful c diff treatment experience!
It really is comforting to know that after the treatment, the infection has stayed away! (The internet is full of "recurrent infection" stories that started to scare me). What does your husband do now regarding antibiotics? Does he still take amoxicillin before dental work, does he only take antibiotics during an active infection? Was he told to avoid certain antibiotics? Now that this happened, I am afraid of antibiotics but I know I am going to need them in the future.
How does your husband navigate that dilemma?
Thanks so much Ginger for letting me know about your husband's experience! Sooo helpful!!

He has taken antibiotics before dental appointments since his transplant, yes. It's a worthwhile precaution. Remember, antibiotics in general will kill the good bacteria along with bad! He hasn't been told to avoid certain ones, to my knowledge or his memory.
