Playing With Mother Nature

This past week has had its ups and downs. A couple of days I felt like my body was going to relapse, but thank goodness I have not! My stools have been formed all week, with only a couple of days of the feeling like I constantly needed to go, but only went two of these times. The last couple of days I have been dealing with a rumpus that burns and has a little itch. Not sure if it is part of the recovery of c diff or if I have a hemorrhoid. To look at the positives, I feel a lot better. I have got my appetite back, and the nausea is gone. I may be feeling a little to normal, foods like dairy, gluten and sugar have been tempting me. So much so I caved and are a homemade banana chocolate chip muffin. My stomach grumbled and pinched a little, but haven't had any terrible reactions yet. Hopefully I can keep the c diff away for another week. I know relapse is more is more likely between one to three weeks. I am getting more hopefully that I have beat this thing, but still very on

After relapsing with c diff I found a GI doctor who decided that it would be better to change my 10 day vanco to a 14 day vanco treatment. Currently I am one week off of the antibiotics, and hopeful that I have won the war. But I have the fear in my head every second of every day. Any stomach twinge, or feeling of being unwell has me on edge. My body doesn't feel 100% cured, but I am taking things one day at a time. I have been drinking my homemade kefir three times a day, along with taking one Florastor pill twice a day, once in the morning, and once at night. I have also been taking a Theralac probiotic at lunch, and Culturelle probiotic after dinner. I feel like I am currently doing everything in my power to kick this horrible bacteria, and can't wait to close the c diff chapter of my life!
