C.Diff help

[Guest guest]

HI Everyone:

I was doing quite well on the AP for about 7 years, took pro-biotics, etc.

Within the past few months I had been having some bowel and gastro problems,

after a stool test my doctor tells me that I have C.Diff.

I am convinced that it came from the oral Clidy my doctor prescribed a few

months ago to help me during my flair up. I am also wondering if C.Diff can be

caused by stress (during the emotional stress of continually taking care of a

terminally ill mom). I took probiotics during but obviously not enough.

Now the doc. has me on flagyll to conteract the C.Diff.

Does anyone have any experience with this C.Diff that can give me som tips,

advice? Is this something that will " go away " and not come back?

Thanks,

Roni

Hi, Ronnie:

" ...C.Diff can be caused by stress... " NO. However, there is a bit of

complications that can be due to stress but C. diff lives in our gut and

antibiotics CAN cause overgrowth and this is MISERABLE.

If you have the colitis due to Clostridium, you should not eat anything raw

and should stay full away from any refined starches (anything made from or

augmented with flour of any variety), caramel, potatoes, and all fried foods.

It can take at least a month to eliminate this overgrowth, and up to three

months to repair the damage.

You should find a source of enteric-coated oregano OIL, and take flaxseed, EV

olive oil, salmon oil, and especially GLAs upon retiring: Evening primrose,

borage seed, or black currant oils. Take chelated calcium, zinc, and magnesium

(citrate--about 2 tbs twice daily of the average liquid).

Brown Cow or Stonyfield Farms yoghurt will help heal the tract and provide the

right flora, along with your probiotics. Avoid anything physically hard (or

raw) for at least a week.

Sauerkraut and the juice should be taken and can be eaten as a meal with

turkey franks or whatever you like normally that is not too fat--avoid most

animal fats especially from beef or pork; others are not so bad, provided you

are taking balancing EFAs at 11g or more.

Three days of apples only--the Edgar Cayce Apple Diet--can help very much, as

apple season approaches and they are fresh and local.

After the infection is under control, it is good to supplement for

repair--vitC, vitE, niacin plus niacinamide, and lysine. Eat okra, lychee

fruit, and some aloe vera at 20% pure juice can help. Unsweetened concord grape

juice and glycine can also help. Eat coddled eggs if you like these, otherwise

lightly fried in butter--but eat eggs in quantity after the Clostridium stops

causing severe reactions (about 3 days after the Flagyl...you may not be able to

tell the difference between the Flagyl and Clostridium at first...).

Once you have had this, you are prone to it and should take occasional courses

of Flagyl every time you take antibiotics.

Hope that this helps,
