Hi all,
I'm on a trip and unfortantely I got sick Tuesday night. Was able to find a doctor here on Italy that spoke a bit of English. Unfortantely I had to take some antibiotics for a sinus infection right before leaving and the first day of the trip. I stopped those immediately cause I'd rather have a sinus issue than C diff or a flare. Anyways, the doc gave me steroids. I took 32 mg today (16 mg tablets) and yesterday. The doc said to go down to 16 mg tomorrow- doesn't that seem like a lot to drop down to? I'm due to return home Monday. I feel better today. Don't know if it was something I ate, stress, or I'm sure the antibiotics were a bad choice. I think if it was C diff id be a lot sicker right? I went from going 10 times Tuesday night to 3ish today. Just looks weird- yellow. Can't tell if it's blood or tomatoes in it (sorry I know it's gross). He did give me flagyl incase things get bad. But I would think with the decrease in BMS I'm possibly on the mend? Any advice on the steroid taper? Just have limited resources here. Stil on apriso and probiotics. Not eating dairy now and just plain pasta here. In Italy.
