@hello1234 I am sorry to hear you have CDiff. 2/14/22 I had both C Diff and Norovirus at the same time. Too sick to go to Dr with vomiting due to Noro and then the C Diff at other end. I did eventually get a stool sample which tested positive for both and Difficid after about 4-5 days, which worked well along with a very bland diet like plain rice, mash potatoes, toast and 7-up. In retrospect I probably should have been in the hospital being a transplant patient. My PCP should have given me more days of Difficid, but I survived. I hope you get fast treatment and feel better. Hugs my friend!

Hi @jennifer0726 😊
You are my hero!
No matter what comes your way, you deal with it and come out the other end with a successful outcome!
It's amazing that you had C diff AND Noro at the same time.
Do you think you caught both at the same time? How long did it take to feel better?
Do you have to avoid certain antibiotics or meds in the future due to exposure to c diff or is everything back to normal?
I am so happy to hear that you had a successful outcome with all that going on.
I know you had surgery recently. How are you feeling now?
Jennifer, thank you so much for jumping in to comfort me with your personal experience.
It definitely makes me feel better that the medication, your bland rice and mashed potatoes diet and rest did the trick!
