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.

When I had malaria, I felt like I would have to get better to die.
C-diff was the same. I’m not sure I’m completely over it.

I’m beginning to think that CDiff plays a much bigger role in these diseases, even colon cancer but doctors seem to think it’s rather rare and don’t test for it even though we take antibiotics a lot. I think the medical community needs some schooling from patients. Pretty easy equation and the cant figure it out
