I’m so sorry to hear this. I don’t know what covid is like but I’ve been dealing with recurrent c. Diff for 5 years now. And bless your mother, I’m sorry she had to deal with it and may she rest in peace.
It's super difficult to get a fecal transplant. There are many hoops to jump through, and ins doesn't pay for it. If you can even find a doctor that will do it.
@@bryantblalock4173Oh yes they do my friend. Ppl forget that your skin is AN ORGAN, therefore anything that you put on it is going to be absorbed into systemic circulation 😮
Mines feels like c diff. Antibiotics 3 years ago. And then I drank raw milk to cure. Bad mistake. Stomach went nuts. 1 year dairy free was a big help and going off gluten is helping also
@pitch-darkpositivity Stool transplantation, or fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), has indeed been around for several decades, but research is ongoing to better understand and refine its applications. While its use in treating conditions like recurrent Clostridium difficile infection is well-established, researchers continue to study its efficacy and safety for other conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic disorders. Ongoing studies aim to optimize techniques, understand long-term effects, and determine the best protocols for different patient populations. This ongoing research helps to ensure that treatments are as effective and safe as possible.
A well known sports commentator in Mexico just passed away from this disease, Andre Marin, only 52 years old, I've never even heard of this before and I really feel bad for him and his family, this shit is no joke...no pun intended 😢
@@marioguti9887 that’s exactly why I’m questioning why it’s still “under study”. While they are using up decades of time perfecting their craft and seeing if it’s “safe” millions of people are losing their lives. I’m sure their families and these patients wish they would have a little more compassion for people in need. My mother nearly lost her life this week.
I've had this infection twice, my colon is clear but I have scarring in my colon for life and i have a high high chance to get it again. And when I had it I had to be quarantined for 2 weeks at a time. Flagyl antibiotics were the force against the disease, but if I take any other antibiotics I have an increased chance of getting it again which honestly sucks. The worst thing about getting once or twice is that you'll have this for the rest of your life. My case since I've had it twice, I gotta deal with the disease for the rest of my life. This disease is nothing to mess with, it's really really serious. It can cause terrible complications if left untreated. This messenge is a warning! Great video, nice and professional! You've got yourself another subscriber!
I have stomach pain every day and diarrhea almost every morning. I don’t have it all day. Sometimes it’s more than once if I ate something bad. I know I have stomach problems but whenever I go to the doctor they just try to say I have acid reflux or ibs without actually testing anything.. it’s frustrating living with stomach pain everyday all day.
Hey Medical Centric, I want to ask you a question as I feel like I’m fighting for my life with this right now. Any advice to give someone who just got off a round of Vancomycin, I feel like it’s coming back worse. It’s felt pretty terrifying and intense I barely function. I’m going back to my doctor next week but this has been happening for years now and I feel like they will never be able to get rid of it. Are they missing something? Answer if you can and thanks either way
Unfortunately once you have had it once, its likely to come back. However i recommend trying flagyl and vancomycin together for your next round of antibiotics and if it keeps coming back, ask if a faecal microbial transplant is worth your time. C.diff sucks so dont think your going crazy just keep trying. I really hope you get better soon, keep your head up
@@JackJones-jm5hv thank you man that means a lot. I’m going to have to try that. I’ve been wanting to give up hope lately and I appreciate the kind words and I hope you continue to stay healthy
I am sorry that you have a recurring CDI so long. My mother has it more than five months. She was three times in the hospital. Every time she got Metrodinazol and Vancomycin. The fourth time she got Fidaxomicin but unfortunately it came back. Now the doctors want a transplant. It is such a severe disease. I wish you all the best
@@anap8715 Thank you for your kind words. I’m sorry that your mother has to deal with it too. You’re right it’s a horrible disease but we can beat this. I think she could do a transplant or whatever would help her get rid of it. I know it just seems like the antibiotics don’t get rid of it. The hospital told me it is one of the most resistant bacterias
This took my mothers life. Worser than covid.

Well, I'd consider getting a fecal transplant.
Hello, can acute use of prednisone and topical steroids cause a reduced immune state that may cause C. Diff to thrive?
Topical steroids don’t have systemic affect tho
@@bryantblalock4173Oh yes they do my friend.
Ppl forget that your skin is AN ORGAN, therefore anything that you put on it is going to be absorbed into systemic circulation 😮
Do any of y'all know how you contracted CDiff?
Antibiotics

How can stool transplantation be under study? It came out like 20 years ago.

Sorry about the experience and thank you for sharing
what else besides flagyl in your opinion helps?

@@TheRealBlackMagicAre you still dealing with this? I am having recurrent c. Diff too maybe we can help each other. Take care of yourself
@@gingerentertainment7628 I just get stomach pain and feel bloated and burp air a lot lately
Nice
