CW: Medical: Advice & boosts plz!
Boosts appreciated! I don’t know how much reach my dinky instance gets even on a good day.
Anyone here experienced (first hand or professionally) in dealing with c. diff. infections? My poor husband picked it up when he had surgery last month, and I want to make sure it gets gone and stays gone.
He’s got vancomycin & I picked up Saccharomyces boulardii I-745 probiotics (based on: https://cdiff.org/choosing-the-best-probiotic-for-c-diff/).

CW: FODMAP, food, medical
It was my intention to post regularly what I'm eating while staying low #FODMAP but I only really eat three things: omelette with vegetables and Colby Jack (paprika and tumeric), oatmeal with almond butter and cranberries (cinnamon and nutmeg), and CF Brownie Crunch cereal with oatmilk. Plus either green tea or tumeric ginger tea depending on how I'm feeling. Also a handful of vitamins and small salads now that I'm out of acute crisis.
My gastroenterologist, who is a dismissive and disinterested ahole generally, says that he recommends --against-- low FODMAP for #IBS , #IBD , #postinfectousIBS , ect. because it's "too restrictive," but what was really restrictive was never leaving my house, barely parenting my children, and being absent to my friends and community because I was in constant excruciating and unpredictable pain.
If I lived in a major metro area, this is the phase where I would see a nutritionist to reintroduce things so that my diet could become less restrictive but still provide management benefits, but I don't.
Instead I get stuck here, letting my body heal in strict mode, because I enjoy being able to just function for a while and I'll do anything it takes to maintain that.
This isn't the whole story ( #endometriosis , hospital-acquired #CDiff , #medicalmalpractice , #medicalgaslighting ) but I feel like I need to share because there are other people like me who have to figure this out on their own.

Reminder to pick your outcomes.
Vancomycin vs Fidaxomicin in #Cdiff- same mortality, but lower recurrence with fidaxo

Notoriously difficult to disentangle mortality attributed to #clostridium #difficile and other co-morbidities.
Either way, it's not good to get #Cdiff

CW: Long thread/5
At that point, FMTs were already in widespread use by docs to treat otherwise untreatable cases of *#ClostridioidesDifficile* (#CDiff), an antibiotic resistant bacterial infection that literally makes you shit yourself to death. These doctors were in no position to run registered clinical trials, which meant that they would have to stop using the most effective therapy they had for a potentially lethal infection.

Clostridium difficile recurrences are expensive! To be avoided...

On the ninth day of #Christmas, my true love gave to me … a reason to dance for joy!
Donors with healthy #microbiomes have cured patients with a life-threatening bacterial infection known as #Cdiff through fecal microbiota transplants, which I describe in Chapter 3 of Flush. The transplant of gut #microbes is like reseeding a weedy garden with healthy plants to keep invasives out.Thanks to stool banks & a new FDA-approved therapy, more patients are getting back out on the dance floor!

FDA approves the first treatment for recurrent C. difficile infections made from bacteria from donor stools. Fecal transplants have been used for awhile. This would be a far easier approach. #Cdiff https://www.statnews.com/2022/11/30/fda-approves-first-microbiome-drug/
