Trying to recover from a c. diff infection (Clostridium difficile)

Thank you! Yes, I had gone 3 weeks before going to Dr and finding out I had C-diff. I actually went to a walk in clinic after 4 days and they just said it was a reaction to something I ate!! Told me to do BRAT diet. I could not go to Gastro for over two weeks so I guess I must have a pretty strong case of it.
I know what you mean about dry hands! Washing them all the time in hot water does dry the skin for sure.
When I see the dr this week I will definitely request the Dificid!

@lindac61 You're lucky you could get in with a gastro within two weeks. I had to wait for two months to get in to see my gastroenterologist. I did get to see his NP after one month. At that time I was having my 3rd relapse and doing the Vanco taper. After I saw the gastroenterologist, we decided that I would do fidaxamicin (Dificid) if I relapsed again. It's an expensive drug. Over $4,000 for 20 pills. My insurance wouldn't pay their share until I had tried vancomycin. Anxious to hear what you find out tomorrow. Wishing you well.
