The Gastrointestinal Society, invites you to take part in sharing our survey identifying the effects of recurrent Clostridioides difficile (C. diff or C. difficile) infection. English: badgut.org/2024-cdi-survey/ French: badgut.org/2024-sondage-icd/?lang=fr
I was on IV vincomycin for a severe staph infection. Day 3 in the ICU i was woken by what can only be described as an eruption that flew out from under the sheet and splattering on the floor. I was covered from shoulders to knees in the stankiest doodoo i ever known to man. They had to dress in haz mat suits to walk me to the shower room wrapped in a sheet with a trail of poopy bare foot prints following my walk of shame with little spurts coming out of me in random bursts. The nurses were super cool and understanding. They cleaned me off and moved me to another room with a commode next to the bed and a pair of pull-ups just in case i had another accident. God bless Beaumont hospital
Oh my God, you poor thing. I can't even BEGIN to imagine the horror of experiencing something like that . . . I thought natural childbirth was a punishment, but that sounds like a walk in the park after listening to this. I sincerely hope you are all, completely better and back to living normally and comfortable.
@@LegalJargon6820 oh no, not compared to childbirth, women have us men beat on that in every way. Motherhood is a badge of honor up there with military service. I don't pretend to know and I don't wanna know. I'll take a week of c.diff over 8-20 hours of childbirth any day. Thank you very much for your contribution to the human race. There is no honor comparable to the ordeal of childbirth
Was diagnosed with it today. Fighting full week already, have no physical strength left. I don’t remember myself ever been sick so bad. It all started with Covid, that provoked tooth infection. Treated tooth with antibiotics, that killed all good bacteria in my gut and here we are. When C.diff popped in air (probably somewhere at work), it didn’t infected healthy people. But I’m a special case.
This is exactly what happened to me. I’ve had so many infections since I had COVID two years ago that this last round of antibiotics left me with CDIFF. 😩
Oh my gosh, you guys 😔 I'm so upset for everyone in this comment section. Life can be such bullshit sometimes. Covid devastated so much life and it's effects continue to wreak absolute havoc today. It's sad.
Just got out of the hospital with a c.diff infection, been home a week now and nothing has changed, still major watery poo, that hits about 10-20 times a day. It's kind of orangish/yellow color and has an odd smell. Doc said they have exhausted all antibiotics used to treat it, so I guess this means I'm going to be in hospital often or just die from it.
Can I ask a question? I have fibromyalgia, but have had 3 bacterial infections in the last year. Started with salmonella a year aga, SIBO 3 months ago, and then C diff. Antibiotics from the first two weakened my immune system. I am not on Vancomycin for C diff and have a few days left. Things have improved...we will see if it comes back. My question is, how long do I stay away from large gatherings like church, football games, because my good bacteria is down to near zero? Couldn't I be susceptible to anything right now? How long will it take to build back up good bacteria with probiotics every day?
So c diff can go away for good or do you always walk around with it for it to pop up at any time. I just got diagnosed with it a week ago and everything i read about it sounds like once you have it you will always have to worry about it.

thanks a lot for the information.

I’ve had it twice and every time I start to feel better it comes back. Going on three months now.
So sorry to hear that. :(
Fecal transplant ❤
Same here.

Each person is very individual, it is best to ask your doctor for an exact timeline.

Looks like it’s always a chance
