Sorry to be posting with several threads but the story goes on...and on.
Last week Nico had 2 days with diarrhea and lots of blood in it, so i called the GI and he ordered a stool sample. After adding oatmeal to his diet, the D stopped. A the same time he started taking 6mp as his maintenance med. His BMs were fine, sometimes felt a little urgency but not a big problem, but he started having nausea and loss of appetite.....this I know is due to the 6mp because this has happened before. So today I called the GI to see if he could switch back to remicade (what he had been taking pre surgery), and the doc said Nico had tested positive for C-Dif and was to start Flagyl and thats why he felt no appetite and was nauseous. he Took him off his maintenance meds. Today actually he feels great because he did not take the 6mp last nite and I am so sad he has to start with Flagyl tonight which makes him feel so horrible!
My question is , can he have c dif without diarrhea? Really, his stomach has been doing well since the oatmeal. I do know that c Dif is nothing to take lightly so I am following docs orders. He is anemic, and his stool is kinda dark brown, but not black.
Don't we all have c Dif in our systems?
What is good to give in terms of probiotics....s. boulardi, vsl3??? Any foods?
Wow, any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
