ugh where does it fit??

Hey everyone...so i found out this morning that all my issues i was having last week is due to me having c. diff...They gave me meds for it but i cant take my multi or calcium 6 hours before or 2 hrs after....Maybe im just thinking about it to hard but i seriously cant figure out the best way to do this...any suggestions?

Uh,... what is c. diff?

Its a bacterial infection you can get after taking high doses of antibiotics b.c they kill off all the good bacteria and allow the c. diff bacteria to take over. It can make you nausous and give you diahrea...which can lead to dehydration which was my big issue! In my case they think it was caused by the fact that i was antibiotics for ten days before my surgery the dose they gave me in the OR and then again for fourteen days after surgery for my stupid tooth again...

C diff is a nasty intestinal infection that is highly contagious. It will wipe you out because it gives you the runs. A very nasty bug, I have to say.

Lee-Eat yogurt, it will help get some of the good bacteria back into your system!

Sorry to hear you're sick but glad they've figured it out and can treat it.  How often do you have to take the medication that you'll have to work around your daily meds?

I have to take it twice a day....im seriously confused about when to take it...i thought i would do ten and ten but i cant take my vit 6 hours before....i asked the pharm. and they just looked at me like i was crazy

Ok this might work (or some variation of this).  Not perfect but you could tweek it to allow closer to 12 hours between doses depending on our schedule.

I can take my multi and calcium at the same time? I thought i had to do them so far apart b.c of the iron in the multi? if i can take the multi and the calcium together than i shouldnt have an issue...
