And C Difficle may be a contributor to IBD and other colon issues. It’s more common than doctors realize.

One of my doctors said that my C-diff was probably encouraged or caused by the Amoxicillin I had been taking. I was originally diagnosed with Listeria. That was based on my having eaten some frozen waffles that had tested positive for Listeria.

Around year 2000, I went to an immediate care clinic for a bad cold. The doctor fixed me up with some amoxicillin (I think that’s what it was). I developed cdiff, which landed me in the hospital for almost a week. The magic bullet was vancomycin. I did eventually develop PSC and received a new liver in 2021.

Too bad this study didn’t come out years earlier. I hope other will benefit from it. It’s great to see they’re making some progress with IBD research. I was diagnosed with UC in ‘94.
