Diagnosed with c.diff

Ask Dr. Saputo Blog

After having a stool test done my doctor said that I had C. Diff and she wanted me to use flagyl for the infection. I have been on many rounds of antibiotics for respiratory infections from bronchiectasis, most recently IV rocephin. I have never had diarrhea and my only symptoms was slight irritation in my colon which got a lot worse after using flagyl. I quit the flagyl after 2 days because it was making me feel so bad. I use probiotics everyday, including while on antibiotics,  but haven't used saccharomyces boulardi so just ordered some. I have some l-glutamine which I haven't used for awhile so am starting back on it. Any other suggestions would be appreciated since I don't want my doctor insisting that I use antibiotics to treat the c.diff since my body is already overwhelmed with antibiotics for treating my respiratory infections. I recently started getting immunoglobulin iv's since my immunoglobulins showed quite low on a blood test.

Hello...

I am not your physician and therefore cannot give you advice. However, you are doing what I do for the vast majority of my patients with C. diff. In my experience antibiotics are not a good idea because they are not necessary and they further destroy the gut microflora. As long as my patients are getting better on the program of supplements I've outlined I do not use antibiotics even if C. diff grows out on stool cultures.

I hope this information will be useful for you and your physician.

Trying To Find The Best Diet Pill?

Trying to find the best diet pill may seem like an impossible task, especially with the multitude of diet pills available for purchase. Many people purchase a diet pill only to find out that the pill makes them feel jittery, nervous, or often has no effect at all.

Diet pills frequently contain the same or similar combination of ingredients and rarely contain anything new, innovative, or undiscovered to the supplement / weight loss industry. So, how can you find the best diet pill when most diet pills are made with similar ingredients?

One of the most common problems associated with taking diet pills is that the person taking the diet pill is uneducated about the dosage, effects, and promises offered as they relate to each diet pill. The research at website finds that there are three factors that should be taken into consideration when deciding to take a diet pill.

Dosage:
It is important to take the pill exactly as recommended on the product label. Some people choose to increase the dosage thinking that the product will work faster or better. This is not the case, and many people become sick in response to the large dose. Reviewers at website often suggest that the recommended dosage be cut in half to give the body time to adjust to the stimulant in the diet pill. After the body has adjusted, it is fine to begin taking the regular dosage as recommended on the product label.

Effects:
The effects listed on the product label are there because these are the effects that the product has had on 'some' of the test group. Some of the diet pill testers may be fine taking the product, while others may have adverse effects. The diet pill companies print this information to educate the buyer as well as to protect themselves from lawsuits. The consumer needs to read the label and educate themselves before taking the product. Many people who are sensitive to caffeine are surprised when the diet pill makes them feel nervous or nauseous, but this information is likely printed on the product, so with a little research these affects can be avoided.

Promises:
If you read the fine print on product claims for diet pills and other weight loss supplements, you will see 'results not typical' printed very small somewhere where you are not expected to look. The diet pills advertised on television are responsible for some of the most outlandish claims. The results claimed in these advertisements are often unattainable within the given amount of time outlined in the ad. Don't expect to see results in two weeks like a lot of ads claim.

Wouldn't it be great if you could read reviews for diet pills from actual users of each diet pill? Diet Pill Reviews website has taken the trouble out of searching for the best diet pill. You can read reviews of over 150 of the most popular diet pills available.
