Boosts appreciated! I don’t know how much reach my dinky instance gets even on a good day.
Anyone here experienced (first hand or professionally) in dealing with c. diff. infections? My poor husband picked it up when he had surgery last month, and I want to make sure it gets gone and stays gone.
He’s got vancomycin & I picked up Saccharomyces boulardii I-745 probiotics (based on: https://cdiff.org/choosing-the-best-probiotic-for-c-diff/).
Notoriously difficult to disentangle mortality attributed to #clostridium #difficile and other co-morbidities.
Either way, it's not good to get #Cdiff

At that point, FMTs were already in widespread use by docs to treat otherwise untreatable cases of *#ClostridioidesDifficile* (#CDiff), an antibiotic resistant bacterial infection that literally makes you shit yourself to death. These doctors were in no position to run registered clinical trials, which meant that they would have to stop using the most effective therapy they had for a potentially lethal infection.
