Well I'm back to report that I read the label on the Melatonin tablets & found it contained magnesium citrate which is a natural sleep aid but also a natural laxative! So I switched to Melatonin...
How are you making out Dallas & others after stopping MELATONIN?...
After stopping Melatonin my diarrhea disappeared within about 5 days. I have recently restarted it & I have reduced the dosage to just a quarter of 1 mg. sure enough the diarrhea started again but...
Hey Doggiedo, How did you make out at work? Are you feeling any better? Is the Flagyl kicking in? I have been "runs" free for 2 days! We have a trip planned for March 1st so I am feeling that we...
Maybe the Flagyl is finally working! That is certainly possible. I sure hope so! GOOD LUCK tomorrow!...
OMG! Do not even think you are a complainer or a fake!!! This bacteria is a nasty one & makes you very ill. I so understand being afraid of not making it to the restroom. I was afraid to go out &...
You would be in severe pain if you had a perforated bowel. Plus vomiting & fever. So I highly doubt that. You have had 2 courses of Flagyl so it may be helping. The bowel sheds toxic waste &...
Well good luck! Hopefully soon you will be feeling much better & get back to living!...
Hopefully she will order Vancomycin this time. It is more expensive but with Flagyl not working hopefully she will pull out the big guns for treatment. Can you get the prescription delivered to you?...

Geezer, how are you doing on Vancomycin? Would you tell me your story please?...
Thanks so much for your reply. My Doc is unwilling to give me anything to control the diarrhea as she feels toxins need to be shed from bowel. She would prefer to wait for C-Diff results & refer me...
To C-Diff Helper....your courage is remarkable and your assistance in sharing your story is both enlightening and a warning....thank you for your candor....
I am waiting for results of a C-Diff test on stool. In Canada this test is done through a Public health Lab & takes 2 weeks. I have already had test for C&S and O&P which were negative. I have had...
