Postpartum w Cdiff
I am 3 weeks postpartum and was recently diagnosed with c diff after 8 days of suffering with watery diary +15x a day
I was hospitalized for 4 days due to my potassium levels being super low after the dehydration. Drs gave me both Vanco and Flagyl and I’m guessing they added the flagyl to reinforce because of how severe my diarreah had been. I’m still having diarrhea (although significantly less) about 5x a day 4 days into the treatment. When does it get completely better???? Why is everyone against Flagyl? Should i go against Dr and just stop taking the Flagyl and continue the Vanco? I would hate to hurt my progress.
I am now home and I’m so scared of spreading it or my potassium levels getting low again or it never getting better. How did everyone deal with this at home?
PS. I’m not taking any probiotics because I’m scared I’m going to make things worse
