@judy75 .. when i had c.diff and on the lengthy vancomycin treatment i already had ibs-d ... when on vancomycin could not take anti-diarrhea meds so it was doubly horrible .... i lost either 15 or 25 lbs over the summer... dont remember now... but didn't take a probiotic, nor yogurt, just what husband and I were eating but maybe 1/4 portions.... definitely no tomatoes or spicy sauces; scrambled eggs ok, bread, bland foods...I bought a book on cdiff which i now see advertized on internet which was overkill and so scientific, scared me and made situation worse... but I can look in there and see what she suggests as optimum foods - let me know and i can copy.... i dont take vitamin pills but looking back I dont think was getting enough nutrition esp. cos of the constant diarrhea... am sure you will get lots of idea from comments here, good luck judy

Thanks so much for responding. Half the time I have no real appetite or my anxiety keeps me from wanting to eat. Anxiety also keeps me in the bathroom. But I’m just having a hard time figuring out what to eat for meals. If anything it’s usually cream of wheat and tea for breakfast, soup or a tuna fish sandwich for lunch and maybe a little chicken breast and mashed or baked potato for dinner. Not really anything in between. When I can’t stomach anything I’ll drink an Wnsure protein drink. I’ve lost 30 lbs since the diverticulitis in Oct and still losing with c-dif.
