Success story ✨
Hi all!! I just wanted to post a positive story because I remember being in the thick of it with c diff.
Some background first, I have IBD and endometriosis so I had tummy issues going into this whole deal.
Back in early July 25, before IBD and Endo diagnosis, I was struggling to figure out what was causing my stomach issues. I was ill pretty regularly. They found out I had a bout of colitis and a UTI at the same time. I was put on another 1500 mg of antibiotics twice a day for TWO WEEKS (literally insane btw), they wanted to rule out my colitis being infectious so we could formally diagnose me with IBD. Well on my 21st birthday, after my first ever (and last 😔) drink I started having violent diaherra. I just assumed this was the consequences of drinking with my stomach. Well one day goes by, now two, by three I'm realizing something is horribly wrong. This is when I'm diagnosed with c diff. The next months that followed were rough!! For about 3 months all I ate were egg and cheese sandwiches bc it was the only thing that didn't make me blow up. Eventually I could slowly start adding things in, I am about 10 months post infection (?) and I can eat pretty much everything. I just got dairy back in late January. I mean today I just had Chili's for dinner!!!
Anyway, it gets better! My stomach is unfortunately not 100% but that's due to my other issues as well. That being said my day to day is sooo much better. I wish every one quick, painless, and fast journey of healing ✨
