Sharon,
No, you are not dense. And thank God that you have never heard of c-diff. I cannot give the exact medical name, something like clostidium difficile...or c-diff. It's a bacterial infection one acquires after a long hospital stay that is generally accompanied by HUGE amounts of antibiotics administered via IV. The results are 10, 20 or more bouts of nasty diarrhea PER day. To me as an IBSer, this kind of diarrhea is worse than anything I have experienced.
After three rounds of anitbiotics to be rid of the c-diff, I found Heather's diet. The diet, I truly beleive in my heart, helped to calm the colon down so that the nutrients could be absorbed. All of the good flora is flushed out w/ the antibiotics and the diarrhea. If the diet had not worked,I was then ready to try the donor fecal injection (that's not the right word, but the right one escapes me).
That's enough about that topic...
Thanks for your encouragement. And btw, we are probably the "senior" member on the Board.
