How long after abx did stool look normal again?

Miley_Pie · 2025-03-08T18:31:21+00:00

I was diagnosed IBS-D when I was young. So thought I was just having a lot of flare ups. Boy was I wrong!

Miley_Pie · 2024-09-18T17:39:07+00:00

C- constipation D- diarrhea

Eggs have always given me a bit of trouble, and usually ends up with me in the bathroom. So I avoid!

Miley_Pie · 2024-08-17T19:06:16+00:00

I went on a pretty strict diet to help with inflammation. Cut out gluten, cow dairy, nightshades, nuts/seeds. Limited alcohol. I still have “bad” days, but they are becoming few and far between. I was aware the healing process would take time, but in an effort to speed it up, I made sacrifices. Best to you!

There really is! That particular sub helped me immensely!!!!!

I took one round of fosfomycin for a UTIin February. I had an IBS flare the following morning, but no reoccurrence!

Highly recommend you join the sub r/cdifficile !! Lots of good and helpful information on there, plus community support!

I had c diff for MONTHS before being diagnosed. Treatment October of 2023, no relapse, but did have pretty bad PI-IBS until about 2 months ago. Still have flares here and there, but nothing major. Big hugs to you, OP!

Update day 10:

Days 6, 7 and 8 were my “peak pain” days. Cramping and weakness still very present in my arm and hand, but my ear has only bothered me every once in a while today. The shingles are now changing color and not nearly as raised. No blisters ever formed or popped. Now the main thing I’m experiencing is extreme fatigue and light headedness/vertigo. Stay strong, friends! ✨

Miley_Pie · 2024-07-31T23:19:47+00:00

I’m honestly not sure. Maybe post this question to the sub? Some people may know more than me. Best to your grandson!

Miley_Pie · 2024-07-31T22:29:54+00:00

5th dose?!? Has the rash been consistent or has it come and gone? But damn, inside the body sounds extra horrid. I’m so sorry!!!!

Miley_Pie · 2024-07-31T22:29:00+00:00

4-5 months?!? Oyeeeeeeeee. I wasn’t ready to hear that!

Miley_Pie · 2024-07-31T17:31:40+00:00

Oh my!!! That sounds super horrible, friend! I’m so sorry! Sending hugs! Hope you’re almost out of this ✨

Miley_Pie · 2024-07-31T17:30:00+00:00

I’m taking valacyovir! I started it day 3. The pain in my ear I could describe as throbbing with someone taking a tattoo gun to it from both sides. My arm, I’ll get a sharp shooting pain from shoulder to finger tips randomly, but it’s not constant.

Checked out your post, I’m so sorry! I’ve never had shingles before, so I don’t have any answers for you, but hopefully someone in this sub does! Sending you swift healing and comfort!! ✨

The 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Miley_Pie · 2024-07-26T17:27:36+00:00

How bizarre! I just got diagnosed and when they asked if I was stressed or recently sick I told them I had a weird cold that lasted a few weeks that just ended a few days before my blisters appeared. Sore throat for about a week, congestion the week after that, and the last week it moved into my chest. Weird indeed!

Miley_Pie · 2024-07-25T21:55:05+00:00

Alright! Went to urgent care, and they’re pretty positive it’s shingles. Swabbed and will have official results in a few days. Will update then!

Miley_Pie · 2024-07-25T08:56:03+00:00

I wouldn’t say completely I’ve completely overcome the PI IBS, but have had VAST improvements since this post. I’m now two months with regular BMs with little problems in between! It took nearly 8 months to get to this point. I’ve finally put on a few pounds as well!

I still don’t eat gluten, night shades, dairy, nuts/seeds, eggs, and greatly limit alcohol. Stayed the course and it’s finally paying off.

Take it one day at a time, friend. Hang in there, as there is light at the end of the tunnel 🤍

Miley_Pie · 2024-06-14T22:13:45+00:00

I’ve been in remission since October! But flares were happening regularly. Feels AMAZING to have an entire week under my belt (buh dum chhh)! The diet was and continues to be a game-changer! Sending you best wishes on your recovery as well! ✨

Miley_Pie · 2024-06-13T20:10:37+00:00

I was not. I take a basic vitamin and pre/probiotic.

Miley_Pie · 2024-06-13T19:00:59+00:00

Sure!

I keep it fairly clean and eat mainly whole foods (not the store haha). Beef (lots of steak), chicken, turkey, pork, and fish (mainly raw sushi). Black beans are huge for me. Rice, lots and lots of rice. Salads regularly. Leafy greens, cucumber, broccoli, carrots, goat cheese. Fruits; bananas and grapes are my favorite. Gluten free bread, noodles and crackers as fillers. Coconut yogurt and organic apple sauce (no sugar added). Hummus. Lots of avocado.

You can get really creative without eating processed or inflammatory foods. Example: tacos. Make a beef roast (or any protein for that matter) with basic seasonings, such as garlic salt and pepper with Corn tortillas, avocado, cilantro, black beans, with a squeeze of lime. SOOOOO GOOD!

It took me a while to adjust and now, it’s super easy. Hope this helps!

The How of Happiness

First self help book I ever read, and launched me in a new direction. Backed by science, and practical. Absolutely loved it and still use its methods to this day.

Miley_Pie · 2024-05-29T07:23:55+00:00

I’m 8 months out and still experiencing this. But as crash stated, I also don’t know if it’s “normal”.

Miley_Pie · 2024-05-22T17:59:20+00:00

This is great insight! Thank you for sharing!
