I’m US, I live outside Wash, DC. My usual gastro Dr sent me to a gastro at Georgetown Univ Hospital. The G’town gastro was the one who requested the c-dif test. I first saw him last Monday and got the results Thursday. Amazingly it was the G’town Dr and not a staff person who called to let me know of the c-dif. And when I sent an email to the hospital portal site with additional questions, he was the one who called back. He’s been very responsive so far. But the bottom line is getting rid of this c-dif which scares me like the devil. After coming off two bouts of diverticulitis and now this I don’t even know what to eat any more. I’ve been eating a lot of tuna fish sandwiches and soup, baked potatoes and chicken. Losing a lot of weight. And I don’t think I’ve had more than 3/4 hours of sleep the last few months. My anxiety just keeps getting worse. I think I’m driving my psychiatrist crazy. I’ll have to ask the Georgetown Dr about S Boulardii, or is this a medicine only available in Canada?
