for four weeks, sometimes three a day. Then I started feeling really sick and

having a lot of pains in my intestines and running to bathroom. I had to give a

stool sample, and they said I had c diff. They took me off augmentin and

started me on some other special antibiotic that stays in your intestines to

treat the illness. Has anyone else had this? I hear from the doctor that it is

a tough one to treat because it can be a recurring problem. I've been on the

pills 8 days, but kind of afraid to go out. I'm staying home near a bathroom

lol.
