3 weeks ago, I was diagnosed with celiac disease. About a week after that, I started have horrible stomach cramps and diarrhea. I got stool tested, but by the time the results came back, I was feeling better. The results came back about 2 days ago. I had E Coli and C Diff. I’ve no diarrhea in a week and a half just about, and I’ve been taking florastor. The doc called today and sent in vancomycin, but when I told her I had no symptoms, she told me to pick up the meds but not to take them unless it comes back. Do I need to take them? Will it come back? I was extremely ill and I seriously don’t want to go through that again.
Update: my doctor called me back today, since I still have mucus in my stool, although no diarrhea, she told me to go ahead and take the antibiotic for it.
