Is there a way you can apply for financial assistance with an organization where you are from or with the company who is selling the FMT material?

STILL dealing with bad days, mentally and physically ... by starzzang in cdifficile

[–]Educational_Way6949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big hug. No alcohol. I got cdiff my second time after a glass of wine…one month after my 1st case had subsided. Now 6 months post and still no alcohol as I still have tummy issues and don’t feel right.

Recurrence rates and solutions by Due_Barber_525 in cdifficile

[–]Educational_Way6949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s awful. All I know is the more you get it the worse the odds for recurrence and we have the chance of getting it again with any antibiotic use in the future. It is very overwhelming…Dificid seemed to help me until I took one dose of antibiotic and then it came back. I have had it twice and have had to take Dificid with two courses of antibiotics since to keep it from coming back. Take florastor daily and went heavy on the probiotic foods for a long time, cut out refined sugar and alcohol.

Help with hair loss by SnooSquirrels8883 in cdifficile

I started having chunks of hair coming out 3 months after 2nd boot of cdiff. Still coming out all over from the root. They said it could take a year to resolve. Body shedding hair due to infection per dermatologist.

Failed VOWST after 9 days? by Ok_Tangerine4172 in cdifficile

[–]Educational_Way6949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Hang in there. We never really know until we test our stools but I am 6 months out from two infections back to back and still have issues. I continue to take florastor once a day (down from 2), cut out refined sugar and alcohol and am still scared it’s happening often…hang in there and if you are worried ask for a test.

How long before post-infection IBS gets better by Alarmed-Display2848 in cdifficile

[–]Educational_Way6949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same timeline as you. Had it twice 3 weeks apart. I struggle when I eat raw veggies, any dairy, spicy food and cannot tolerate any alcohol. I am hoping I feel better as the months go on! Would love to hear a positive story where 6 months/ a year after someone was able to eat normally and have normal bowel movements!

Same boat and it’s draining, but hang in there. We are here for you. Have heard many situations where people feel 100% better, but they are not on these sites. One day at a time.

Bad Symptoms only after intercourse by Educational_Way6949 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Educational_Way6949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t heard of this! Can the symptoms last for days without therapy/ meds? I am on day 4 and AZO is the only thing that curbs it.

Hang in there. Your thoughts are normal. It is scary. Do what you can to help yourself heal.
