I just want to say I love this place, all of you, your wisdom and help.
Just to make this short as I can, I've been in the hospital 2 weeks and was DX'ed with C Diff during a flex sig. I'm on Vancomycin and taking the probiotics Probiotic CD by American Health and Ultimate Flora Critical Care, switching off back and forth at meals.
Since I've read up more on C Diff, I discovered this Probiotic : Saccharomyces boulardii mentioned in the scholarly literature. I think it's also called Florastar, and I know I can find it at Walgreens or online. But I found some Saccharomyces boulardii at a much cheaper rate at our local Sprouts. (19 bucks vs 34 online)
Does anyone know how much it would take of Saccharomyces boulardii to get the the optimal dose work with the Vanomycin? Or should I wait until the Vancomycin regimen is already finished and see if that works? So far I have just a little D at times, and and having some form.
It seems important to me to get those probiotics in now while all the bacteria bad and good are getting wiped out. Do you agree?
Just my thinking. Oh, and if you could kindly respond, I'm a little unfocused, still on 80 mg pred oral, until tomorrow or Wed., so the easier you make your answer the better I'll understand it!
Thanks to my fellow travellers for anything you offer. My kindest thoughts and wishes go out to all of you.
Edited to add that I'M HOME and there's NO PLACE LIKE HOME!
