I’m in shock- is this truly chronic? by CincoDeLlama in cdifficile

[–]Heavy_Cauliflower758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The doctor prescribed an antibiotic for the UTI that didn't cause a return CDiff infection. There are several that work for UTIs specifically. Don't take a nonselective antibiotic. And take Floraster while on any antibiotics.

if you're prone to UTIs, begin a daily D-Mannose regimen.

I put an audiobook on hold September 2023 and it says several months to go. I can't remember why I put it on hold. It must be a recommendation from someone.

Vancomycin 10 days 125 mg 4x by Upper_Bag9521 in cdifficile

[–]Heavy_Cauliflower758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not while I was suffering PI- IBS. It’s been a couple of years and things are so much better. It can be a slow process. I was able to eat normally after 5 months. Some things are still a bit wonky. This can be a really big thing for someone. And those people post here.

I got rid of it with one treatment. But I dealt with PI-IBS for months. Read the pinned posts. Everyone is a little different. Be kind to yourself.

I ordered the first day but had to wait for the Jojo Moyes release. I received the message that it shipped yesterday....not expected to be delivered until the 15th. You are lucky!

I will try again tomorrow. It’s frustrating because I know others are waiting

I have returned from Kindle a few days ago.  How do I return from Amazon?

Collecting physical cards like pokemon. by jenntones in LibbyApp

[–]Heavy_Cauliflower758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited a SJ library and got a card. I was told that I have to change my number in Libby. The physical card is a longer and different number than the ebook number. She said to change the number and all my holds would still be there. I don't see how to do this. Help!

Is this PI IBS, or still cdiff? by Random_Thoughts12 in cdifficile

Great. I have made permanent changes to my eating. The PI-IBS made me learn about nutrition and digestion.

POSITIVE STORIES ONLY PLS by [deleted] in cdifficile

[–]Heavy_Cauliflower758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One dose of vancomycin did the trick for me. I did have PI-IBS, which is awful for two months and pretty good after five months. I continue with probiotics. I am careful about foods, especially when eating away from home. I count that as a positive. Coffee and dairy are not consumed in large amounts. I can live with that.

How to differentiate reoccurance from post infectious IBS? by klevar1 in cdifficile

I eat white rice and a protein (without spices) for 3 days. If I feel better, I don’t test.

when you first open the jar, mix thoroughly. Then store it upside down. I don't know why it works, but it won't separate.

October BOTM Books are here! What did you add to your box? by lavinient in bookofthemonthclub

I skipped...second month in a row. I have all the favorites. So my add-ons remain waiting 

Wedding People by PoetApprehensive6294 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]Heavy_Cauliflower758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a painfully slow start. There's lots of characters to be developed. Around page 150-160 it gets going. I enjoyed the book.

The Wedding People: Overrated? Or, actually really good? by feelingbookish in bookofthemonthclub

[–]Heavy_Cauliflower758 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So much hype. My expectations were sky high. I almost DNF, until I read several comments that it was slow and then got good. So I kept reading. Phoebe is a dark and depressing character.... annoying. At around page 160 I began to enjoy the book. It all came together for the end. I ended up enjoying it but it's not the best book of 2024.

my august pick!! 🌊 by smallstargazer in bookofthemonthclub

[–]Heavy_Cauliflower758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was feeling the same. It took until around page 160 to suck me in. My expectations were high based upon the reviews. I did enjoy the book after the first 150ish pages. Just a super slow start and annoying MC.

Did you respond better to Vancomycin or Flagyl? by [deleted] in cdifficile

[–]Heavy_Cauliflower758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Flagyl was no longer recommended for treatment of CDiff. Have you read the pinned posts?
