Mosey read above post from mine

Thanks so much for your response, Linda. I’m not 100% but so much better than Feb and March! Trying to renter sensitive foods at this point. I don’t want the antibiotics but primary care suggested we do stool test to see if it computes. Holistic dr did dna stool test, not enzyme test, which indicated exposure to c diff, and with the 5 month history, made sense. It may or may not be active now. Drs looked at everything else from gallstones to kidney stones to constipation, etc to identify abdominal pain and constant nausea. Hoping my body continues healing. Off yeast, and all yeast products, sugars and dairy except kefir, caffeine and I’m hungry but doing my best. Just trying now to renter eggs. @lionness

@mosey is eggs one of the foods giving you problems? They have a lot of protein in them

@lioness I love eggs and used to eat a lot of them. Never knew I had an egg sensitivity, but it tested high. Now we are trying them to see if I have a reaction after 30 days off. I have no idea what I’m looking for but I’m to give it 5 days to see if I notice anything different. I am not allergic to eggs. This has been the hardest thing for me to abstain from.

@mosey I know when my son was small he couldn't eat the egg whites but he's 43and eggs don't bother him at all maybe being of for awhile will do the trick for you.Do you eat the organic eggs from free range chickens? If not maybe it's what th st feed by in those chicken factories or where ever they keep them?I've been thinking of your situation and wanted to tell you there is a great way to start to detox your liver and you make a cuppa hot or cold tea , ,fresh water,lemon juice ,from lemon,Tumeric to taste add some Stevia if you want sweeter Lemon juice from fresh lemons only not store bought .

@lioness Thank you for your suggestions! Yes, I’ve gotten free range eggs so now we wait and see. The tea sounds great...turmeric is another sensitivity that flaggged but maybe I’ll try the tea with it when I re-enter it in my diet.

@mosey I was taking the capsules they didn't agree with my stomach but in the tea for me it works not as potent

Thanks, Linda! Having a bit of a rough time now...cramps in upper abdomen returned along with nausea. So hoping it doesn’t signal a c diff return. Bowel movement fine but never had diarrhea to begin although sometimes constipated. Trying to eat more and relying on matzah and butter to add calories. Trying organic egg re-entry now, poached, and hoping the eggs nor the whole wheat matzo is causing a problem. Also started on brown rice with butter, along with my normal cooked veggies and chicken. Gas pretty severe two days ago, following the rice. What do you think is going on? Thanks so much for your input! Terry (Mosey)

I saw this post in the string and thought I'd offer what I learned when my daughter was sick. Her doctor explained that C. Diff. toxins can break off the cilia in your colon, so if you've been quite ill, you need to grow those back to ease back into health. The different parts along the length of the cilia, as he explained, absorb different nutrients (I'm sure this is way oversimplified, but bear with me). He said the broken off cilia are short, and at the base is where they absorb fats, so high-fat foods might actually be easier to digest at first. After a few days, when they start growing back, they can absorb more carbs and vitamins and minerals (middle part of the cilia) and after a few more days, they will be long enough to absorb proteins (far end of the now longer cilia), but start with easily digested proteins like milk and eggs. So your butter instincts are good, maybe wait a bit for rice, and then eggs last. He had us "upgrade" our menu every 3-4 days. It's not very scientific sounding, but it worked for us and she sure enjoyed the ice cream phase! I was just so happy to see her eat without suffering. Hope this helps.

@mosey I really am unsure have you seen your gastroenterologist? I would start there ,he probably will do some testing to figure out your problem I gave you the treatment Dr had us use for diarrhea ,the BRAT diet but with what you,ve explained you better see your Dr.
