I was hospitalized in 2019 with Cdiff. I ended up having a fecal transplant but Since then I’ve had 8 reoccurrences. I had pneumonia during the occurrences and had to take flagyl an antibiotic. I am 68 years and I noticed than I can only eat certain foods since I’ve had Cdiff. I actually thought I was going to die when I had it. It has changed my lifestyle of going places and eating out. I’m also careful not to be in crowds in case someone not feeling well. I am happy to say that I never caught Covid. I take probiotics everyday and I really believe it has helped me.

This is a great lecture! Most videos on C. Diff on RU-vid are incredibly brief and oversimplified. This was very thorough and informative!

@chipcurry 3 года назад

Absolutely brilliant presentation. Many thanks. I have been struggling with CDF after a recent hospitalization, and was Desperately needing this information.

@raewise6345 Год назад

Very, very interesting. Thank you for taking your time to present this information to us. I have been dealing with c diff since the end of July, I study and do research daily. Excellent video.

Thank you for an excellent presentation . now i know my options to a cure . was just diagnosed with C-Diff.

I know this was posted a long time ago but I have been searching for answers... Figured I would ask here. I got c-diff after taking clindamycin for a bad tooth. Symptoms started July 21 when I woke up to a very embarrassing situation in bed... I have had a lot of health issues so I just prayed it would go away. I wasn't treated until the beginning Nov. I was treated and my doctor put me on 10 days of vancomycin. After finishing the treatment I got better for about 2 weeks during which I had a negative test. Then the symptoms came back with a vengeance. Horrible nausea, Diarrhea with lots of mucus, fever, severe abdominal pain, & horrible pressure, also incontinence... & So much more. I've told my doctor that I'm positive I have my 2nd c-diff infection but he's not going to treat me again, instead he wants to schedule a colonoscopy. How long can c-diff be left untreated without it causing severe problems? Thank you for the help.

@mollyinmaine 3 года назад

You should have a colonoscopy.

@massagetherapyforinjuriesf8197 Год назад

All those things happening to you is happening to me now… they sent me home today after 3 days in hospital. I got this infection from the same dental infection antibiotic that you took it… I am afraid of my life… vancomycin is too strong to me.. I feel is destroying good organisms in my gut …how r you doing these days. Thanks….I wanna stop this treatment at home… and wait x a while… and the enema turmeric technique.. what do you think about it

@rikkihurt Год назад

@@massagetherapyforinjuriesf8197 DEFINITELY take the medicine! Do not mess with c-diff. You are not the only person at risk if you have it. You can leave it on surfaces spreading it to other people in your home, visiting or homes you visit. If you have other people in your home and you have two bathrooms try to use only one and have everybody else use the other. I never ended up testing positive again. I just had similar symptoms. Not sure if they told you but DO NOT use hand sanitizer, it can spread the illness to other surfaces even easier. I think that I was starting to get it but my body was able to adjust after the first infection and fix itself. If you have a positive infection, your gut is already out of balance. Your bacteria is all out of whack. We have c-diff in our body naturally but an infection means that it has gotten out of control. Please take the medication and get better. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

i ve had it 2x in 15 months.ive recently learned probiotics can drastically help mitigate it.A permanent gut flora regimen is ideal but an antibiotic p atient should at least take probiotics while on the abx

@raewise6345 Год назад

I agree! I don't understand why doctors prescribing antibiotics do not ALSO advise patients this way?! I understand not every single person will end up with c diff, but so many of us do! Probiotics have changed everything for me😍

I have dignose with C diff for a second time :( the first time i was dignose was almost 3 years ago a now i have been diagnose and it looks like i have a stronger strenth of the infection. i am worried about it and trying to learn more about it! thank you for doing this video!!

@MATT-ij6wo Год назад

@@massagetherapyforinjuriesf8197 Always ask the doctor, that's treating you for C-DFF, if that would be okay, to do, along with your doctors prescribed Vancomycin! C-DFF has the potential to cause great harm, and even death. Herbal remedies off the internet could cause more harm. If anything ask your doctor about the probiotic, Floraster, it has become part of the treatment now..

@kiritpatel513 4 года назад

Mentioned that bacteria will grow on special media , Is that special media is differential media or enrichment media for bacteria.

@camilapalmaladoc2202 7 лет назад

Once I red that when people take antibiotics their gut microbiota is killed, leading to a disbiosis. Thats why its recomended to take probiotics as soon as posible and its important to avoid eating meat for a period (C. difficile metabolizes proteins generating gases that anoy the patient). My question is: Those after/antibiotics syntoms are due to a new C. difficile strain adquired in the hospital or to the disbiosis? (Considering C. difficile present in the gut is not toxigenic)

METRONIDAZOLE ON IT 2004 FOR A YR 1500 mgs a day, 4 Colonoscopies within 2 yrs (cross contamination) , 13 YRS LATER HAVE AUTOIMMUNE INFLAMMATORY, GENETICS PLAYS A BIG ROLE. I live in Iowa and Drs. proscribe antibiotics like candy without test, I mean in your language Bactria verses viral. have proof!!!!!! THANK YOU! reason for this problem was the insurance company's resistance to Gallbladder removal thanks to HMO YR. 2000.

@lbatemon1158 Год назад

@@DarkAngel-cj6sx I'm on the Autism spectrum and didn't start talking until I was 4 and my parents got me involved with speech therapists. If you are religious, I highly recommend you ask your son to pray to God to unbind his tongue. I recently remembered doing that as a child, so I recommended it to my 3 year old who is showing signs of also being on the spectrum. She would say "Ma", "Da", and "Arah" for her older sister, Sarah. But that's was all we could understand of her babbling noises. Two days after I suggested it, she clearly said, "I love you" to me!! I started crying and held her and asked her if she had asked God to unbind her tongue, and she said, "uh-huh!" And smiled really big. This might sound insane if you aren't religious. But I'm grateful I was raised in the home I was raised in and was taught to pray. I hope this can help you and your son!

But if it's valid information, figure out a way to stay engaged. I tell my children all the time that it is a sign of intelligence to not be bored. In our society today, people just want to be entertained. We're headed towards the society demonstrated in the movie "Idiocracy" with that line of thinking. God gave us brains and expects us to use them. I'm ASD/ADHD, and taking notes helps me remember and stay engaged. My husband is ADHD, and has to doodle or play mindless games on his phone like Bejeweled in order to stay engaged. If the information is important enough for you, you will find a way to engage, regardless of how that information is presented. And figuring that out for yourself (how to stay mentally engaged) will help you more in life than just expecting information to always be given in an entertaining way.
