Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Dear Heather, It has been a long time since I had to seek your advice as I was in "remission" of my IBS-D due to following the guidlines in your book (even cheating from your diet most of the time with no problems). However, I am looking for advice. On 5/15, I was placed on Amoxicillin for a possible infection in a lump on my leg that had to be removed. The day before the surgery 5-19, I started feeling sick, and the day of the surgery 5-20, the diarrhea started. I figured it was just normal nerves triggering IBS from having surgery. The diarrhea continued (worse than IBS attack- this was different and I now figured out it was the amoxicillin causing the diarrhea not IBS) I called my doc and he said to come in for a stool sample and it turns out that I tested positive for the C-Diff bacteria. He started me on a 14 day treatment of Flagyl. I have gone back on your diet and that is helping alot. I was wondering if you know anything about IBS and C-Diff- I can't find much on the internet. The doc said it could come back even 2 months later. Any suggestions or information you can share would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time! Thanks for your book-it has been a lifesaver!
Sharon
