C Diff.... Food??

Rice, toast and oatmeal is ALL you'll tolerate, unless I'm going potty????

Ya gotta be kidding me, smalls.....

***Weakly groans, w/slight nausea***

I hate this infection.

Please tell me I'm not alone??

I’m fucking scared man. I was given this antibiotic called Clindamycin and it caused some side effects that can be potentially deadly. And pretty much everyone who takes it gets these symptoms so I don’t know why the fuck they prescribe it or why my doctor prescribed it to me. Going to the doctor’s tomorrow to get this bullshit checked out, hopefully I won’t have any god damn long term issues but I probably will. Fucking hell.

If you or anyone you know gets prescribed Clindamycin DO NOT TAKE IT and ask for an alternative. You run the risk of getting a C Diff infection and even if you get it resolved you’ll probably have intestinal issues for the rest of your life.

1) Minimize the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics which kill off healthy bacteria in your system and allow the resistant C. diff to flourish - instead use targeted, narrow-spectrum antibiotics. 2) Wash your hands with soap and water - alcohol-based hand sanitizers won’t do the trick with C. diff.
