Six or seven times with recurring c diff

Posted By Josh (Litchfield, Illinois) on 05/19/2012

This is my 6 or 7th time having this evil infection. The first few times I had it, it occured after multi antibiotic treatment for staph.... However it went away about a week after stoping the antibiotics. The last time I had this, I was hospitalized for 4 days on iv pain meds, fluids, cipro and flagyl and other meds. I was better after 4 days of this treatment and released...

Well today I just started having the symptoms of it again, the need to go potty, cramping and vomiting and pain, right now its not bothering me too much, getting outside and moving around seems to have helped.... I believe I have it this time because I have been on in the last few weeks, septra ds, doxycycline and cleocin for a staph infection. I decided today to stop the cleocin since its the last one im on and am almost done with it.... I still feel queezy and the need to potty, but thank you GOD the pain is gone for right now. I am going to go get some kefir and see if that helps any, I found out about it from this site.... I wanna say thanks to all of you who posted this info, cuz like everyone else says, this is an evil evil infection that does make you feel like your never gonna get better.

You need to be treated with a course of Flagyl to rid your body of this dread bacterial overgrowth and you nee to be taking a very high quality, potent probiotic. Never again ingest Cleocin! It is the antibiotic most likely to cause C-Diff and you must advocate for yourself with your Dr. So that you are never given this med again. I had C-Diff from Cleocin and it was horrible. Once you have it, the more likely that it will return. I would take probiotics every day - forever and yoghurt is not enough to do the trick.

Also, if you have pets, you may want to see if they have C-Diff because you could be exchanging it back and forth. You and your pets should be treated at the same time and they should also get the probiotics.

Please seek treatment as C-Diff is not only highly contagious and dangerous - it can be fatal. Left untreated, you could end up with complications later in life. Best wishes for your health.

Hi, I suffered from B strep Urinary infection and also MRSA... Both of them would not go away after I don't know how many rounds of different antibiotics I tried... None of the antibiotics killed the infection and both of these ailments kept recurring over and over for a year... I spent weeks and weeks and months looking for remedies and trying all these remedies here on Earth Clinic... ACV, Baking Soda, Colloidal Silver, Garlic, Iodine, Vit C, Magnesium, H202... I tried EVERYTHING!

Then I stumbled upon another naturopathic website that talked about Dr. Scheussler 12 Tissue Salts... These tissue salts are essential for the body and any defficiency will cause a number of ailments and outbreaks... Each of the 12 tissue salts is assigned for a certain function in the body... I used Sodium Chloride, Pottasium Sulfate, Calcium Sulfate, Potassium Phosphate, Silica (aka Aspirin), Magnesium Phosphate and Sodium Sulfate... After one month, I noticed my ailments and symptoms disappeared and have not had a recurrence of either MRSA or B Strep urinary infection... I stopped taking them two months ago because I ran out of them... And still no recurrence...

I am going to get some more Calcium Sulfate because it thickens my hair, Silica because helps with my skin and hair, and Potassium Phosphate because it helps with stress and anxiety... As for MRSA and B Strep I am clear of them both... The Tissue Salts are at most health food stores... Dr. Scheusslers Tisssue Salts... Google it... And educate your self even more!

For C DIFF, I would look into Sodium Sulphate, Potassium Sulphate, Silica, Calcium Sulfate, Magnesium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate and Sodium Phosphate...

Hey, interesting post. Could I ask where you ordered your tissue salts from? I cant find them anywhere in brick and mortar or online. Thank you!

Hi Anthony - I'm not Joyce, but you can get Dr. Schuessler 12 Tissue Salts from most health food stores. There is also another brand, called Hylands, that offers tissue salts - also found in health food stores. If they aren't in stock, ask at customer service and they should be able to order it for you. Good luck!
