IBS caused by C-Diff
| Fri, 10-01-2004 - 12:06pm |
Im new to this website. And like most others still looking for answers. I had h-pylor about a year ago and was on antibiotic therapy to kill the infection. Well a year later I have had to use the bathroom like 10 or more times a day. Finally went to the doctor and he ran a serious of test. Well I tested postive for clostridium difficile Toxin. When I was on the antibiotic therapy it killed not only the bad bacteria It killed the good bacteria in my body and produced a toxin know as c-Diff. Well was treated for it will 10 course of Flagyl and then anther 10 day course of flagyl. Got rid of it finally . But know I have Ibs systoms and It really sucks. Still running to the bathroom once in awhile. I get cramps really bad on some days. Still scared to go into public much I need to make sure there is a bathroom and more than on toilet..
On Bently for the cramps. And i have to really watch what I eat. If I eat heavy foods I start getting bloated and gassy really bad and my stomach hurts. and of course some days feeling like I have the flu and running to the bathroom. If I stick to bananas and applesause and yogurt, and toast and canned chicken I am doing better. But then my stomach hurts from not eating and i am hungry and seems the acid build up is eating my stomach away. My doctor said it would not hurt me to lose some weight so if that what it takes to eat what I said above then do it. Plus the Bently pills make me dehydrated so I have to drink extra water in which case is not helping much .Lost 10 pounds in less than a week from becoming dehydrated. Does any one else experince this and could help me balance this stupid thing out. and what to do about the fear when going out. I know it is just nerves and I start to cramp up but there is something I could do to help..
I get it if go somewhere I don't eat anything and I take imodium just to make it thru the day. and then I am sick from not eating. This really sucks. I had colonoscopy done and nothing wrong there. so doctor said IBS and don't like it.
