So on sunday I went to the ER with a high fever, chills, and loss of blood. I ended up having c.diff, having to have a blood transfusion, getting my gall bladder removed, and loaded up with antibiotics and steroids. I was in for 5 days and so glad to be home! Before this I was so sick for so long- going 20-30 times a day/night, bleeding, fatigued, the whole nine yards. Now I am really feeling better, not just from having my gall bladder removed but my uc is also calmed down so much, I have only had 6-7 bm's today! I am just hoping this lasts after I wean off the steroids. Has anyone else had to have their gall bladder removed? Did it seem to make your uc better or worse?

Wow, nasty experience for you to have gone through....why did they remove your gallbladder..was it infected?

What meds did they put you on for the c.diff?

I've never had my gallbladder removed, but it seems to have a varied effect on the colon, not necessarily UC. I've heard that one can have more diarrhea after gallbladder removal.

Was your pancreatitis caused from a blocked duct from gallbladder stones? My sister had that experience and eventually had to have her gallbladder removed.

Hope things even out for you and that the surgery and treatment for c.diff will have your UC behaving soon.

Wow, Cdiff huh? Nasty thing that is! I had it once too years ago but I remember it well. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better though!
