Oh no! I just finished a 10-day course of Clindamycin (sp?) prescribed by my dentist for an abscessed tooth. I am still eating lots of yogurt to restock my gut with good bacteria, but that c-diff stuff sounds like it's impervious to everything. Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into this time?

Try acidophilous, many people consider it's even better at repopulating the gut.

Make sure the yogurt has live bacteria. You'd be surprised how much of it is pasteurized.

After any length of time taking antibiotics, I also recommend doing a Candia cleanse...since this yeast will grow and take over after you have killed off your natural Flora.
It is nasty, and can cause a whole host of problems.
Do a web search for cleanse products, and follow the regimen. It's rough, but you will dfeel better that you have in a long time, and a nice side effect is weight loss.

When I was in 4th grade, I threw up EVERY DAY before school. I couldn't eat breakfast, I'd wake up with stomach pains and eventually I'd get sick. It was terrible. We went to the doctor- she thought I was doing it on purpose. My parents were getting fed up, and I was just miserable.
Then my dad discovered acidophiles. Oh my God, that stuff is amazing. I got some pills and within 3 days I stopped throwing up.
