One thing I can eat during the worst of flareups is organic chicken broth and jello. Have both at hand and consume them throughout the day. Drink broth instead of water if you can. I agree with poster above regarding avoiding gluten, lactose in milk and a lot of sugar. I take two Florastor and one Align daily. Two slippery elm capsules between meals. Not sure what the ER would do but at least they can stabilize you if you are dehydrated or in a great deal of pain. Otherwise I don’t think they will provide a comprehensive workup. I live in Texas and people here can go to the public hospital and apply for a discount card. I have found all sorts of gluten free crackers and dairy free products at the store. I rarely eat out. I now eat like a baby or like a geriatric patient. All bland basic food. Research Low FODMAP diet. It has not eliminated my diarrhea completely but certainly helps with gas, bloating and pain. If you have an overgrowth of bad bacteria, which can be a residual effect of the CDiff, these bacteria feed on certain foods that are high on certain types of sugars and carbs. These foods are not necessarily bad but just bad for us right now because the “bad bacteria” feed off them and cause the bloating and pain. There is so much I did not know but have had to learn over the past three months to advocate for myself. I have been given very little nutricional advice by doctors who tell you to eat everything or whatever you can tolerate. That creates a vicious cycle because food definitely irritates the colon and feed into these disorders or perpetuates them. I feel for you. I have insurance and am under the care of a GI doctor and there are days I want to pull my hair out. Can’t imagine not having medical attention or guidance. By the way, how were you diagnosed with CDiff and how do you think you acquired it? I think CDiff is now being over utilized. I was told I had CDiff, tested twice and both tests came back negative. I have taken two rounds of antibiotics anyway because the second theory is that I have SIBO. I don’t think that is clear either. Keep us posted.
