Hi. I was just diagnosed with LC via a colonoscopy in April 2013 (onset of severe D in February). Unfortunately I had been on Cipro for a UTI then had the colon prep. I got C diff and was hospitalized 10 days last month. Dr told me the antibiotic then the prep cleaned out all my good gut bacteria and the C Diff took over. I'm on second round of Dificid now (day 7 of 10). The LC was bad enough, but the C Diff about killed me (literally). Pancolitis was seen per the CT scan while admitted. I am remaining hopeful, but today more pain, and low grade fever is here again (well, it sure beats the 104.3 I had before the admission). I am grateful the D is gone, and I could work all last week and this week I believe the cholestrymine is helping both the lc and cdiff. I am here to learn, and hopefully be a support as well (but like I said, I am a newbie). Thanks for this site.
