First I want to thank you guys for responding to my original "antibiotic and diarrhea" post.
It's comforting to hear some suggestions as to what to do!

Anwyay, it seems that I may have c-difficile... I am waiting for the culture to come back, but it looks like that's what it is, at least according to my MD.

In the meantime, I've started Acidophillus ( sp?) tablets and Pepto Bismol...
in hopes that I won't need to take Flagyl.

Does anyone have any experience with C-Diff? Did the tablets work, or did you need to go on Flagyl?

Thanks again ,
J

Lynn,
Can this be cured by just the acidophilus? My stomach feels better, and between that and one dose of Pepto last night, I don't know what to think?

How long were you on the Flagyl? I'm so scared of taking anything else right...

Thanks,
Jane

The acidophilus will help, but won't cure it all the way.
