My advice for Cloistroidum Difficile FUNGUS after 5 months of suffering with an advanced strain:

 

Flagyl (metronidazole) 250mg every 4 hours  (Vancomycin did not work!  It does not work on fungus!!!!!)  Frequency matters here!  NOT every 12 hours!

Bio-K plus - 1 capsule a day (the best Acidophilus + L.casei)

COLLOIDAL SILVER every day!

 

beneficial:

Saccharomyces Boulardii+MOS (MannanOligoSaccharides) - 1 per day at different time from Bio-Kplus

 

as needed at times of inflammation, where soreness to touch bowel:

Omega 3 - EPA/DHA - 1 capsule

 

If you have a day when you feel really really toxic and sick, Oscillococcinum flu remedy helps a lot.  Available at most drugstores.

 

gas:

Hyland's "GAS" homeopathic tablet

Hyland's "Carbo Vegetabalis" homeopathic tablet.  Healthfood stores carry these.

Hyland's Chelidonium helps the washing machine churning effect.

 

diet:

no spicy foods at all

no dairy products

no beans or corn

eat FISH, lots

popcorn for nausea

I found it helps to avoid gluten, too.

 

most important of all:

WASH HANDS...  WASH HANDS...  WASH HANDS! 

Plain old hand soap is best, antibacterial or alcohol based cleaner doesn't kill C-Diff or MRSA.

It spreads or even REINFECTS from hands, yours or someone else's, everytime a toilet is used without washing hands... hands to food to mouth. 

 

C-Diff takes 3 times around of stool samples to prove or disprove its presence.  One negative does not mean the next day won't be positive.  (If the first is positive, the next 2 aren't necessary, of course).  Quickest test in a HOSPITAL LAB, not Quest Diagnostics!  That took me 3 weeks to get the results and by that time the bug had migrated stronger, as well as being infectious in the meantime.

 

Views differ about it being airborne.  MRSA is airborne and can be prevented by TEA TREE OIL in nostrils regularly.  But I have opinions of a digestive disease team of doctors, an infectious disease specialist, and a very experienced nurse which differ.  Doctors say it is not airborne.  The nurse who has worked with it says it is.  You are going to have to find out more elsewhere, I'm afraid.

 

C-DIFF is not contagious after the 3rd day of antibiotics (Flagyl).  This according to the team of digestive disease associates.  The infectious disease specialist says this is not true, and that it can always be contagious.  But I query him since he could not understand how the spores could create a situation where the 3rd stool speciman in a row was the only one positive.  He didn't understand the 'pockets' that are causing such a holocost in me!  He even said I must just wait until something else was invented.  So...  I just wish you luck. 

 

It can take a year to eliminate, so don't despair.  The earlier you catch and treat it the less time it takes.  But nearly always takes a 2nd 2-week prescription at the very least.  I was on Vancomycin for 3 months without success.  It just got worse.  Switching to Flagyl has helped but for the nausea.  Or at least it had until now.  I am back again to ground 0 even with the Flagyl, so obviously I don't have the answer!

 

Intravenous vancomycin has proven not to work very well at all.    Capsules are better.

 

cleaners:

Chlorox wipes for toilet seats.

Lysol POWER disinfectant with BLEACH for toilet bowls.

 

Those are the ONLY two that work.

 

Don't miss any doses!

Wash your hands a lot!

Stay home when you are sick.

Good luck, I hope this works for you, as I wouldn't wish my ordeal on anyone.  And I am now resigned to the fact it is killing me at 66.  To my knowledge, I have no other options.  If you do, please oh please contact me!  Below is email address.
