Hi

Did a search on our forum but didn't come up with much

.

The C-diff came back for the 2nd time and had been treated with 125 mg of vancomycin for 2 weeks then went tapered down to 3-2-1 pill for 3 weeks.

This ID specialist treats on the worst cases and found that over the past 6 months this 50 billion capsule has really healed the flora and got it in balance with almost all his patients.

He took me off the vanco and just doing this along with 4 capsules of Asacol 3 times a day.

Any experiences will be appreciated.

Hi Judy: (in Temecula :P )

I am not familiar what your issues are but apparently recurrent C-diff. If it's probiotics (and good ones) that you are looking for, I have just been prescribed a really good one by Krispin Sullivan (The Krispin Report - on lectins), to heal my leaky gut, don't know how well it would work on C-diff, but it contains 7 probiotics, is in a micronized powder that you sprinkle on yogurt, ice cream, whatever, or mix with water (if you must :rolleyes: ) that contains 254 billion organisms. It is resistant to digestion until it reaches the right place and it is called VSL#3 and is available from Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals on-line. It is pricey, but if you have been having this problem for a long time it might be worth it. I apparently still have a leaky gut which is why I have all these lectin intolerances which we are trying to send on their way back to where they belong - safely inside the lectin plants and not playing gobbledygook with my heart rhythms :unsure: . Just a thought if what you are trying doesn't work (which I hope does :) )

      @RMJ it makes sense as it’s something I’ve experienced more than once. Currently 24 weeks and baby is doing well! Will be seeking more medical advice today

      Thank you! This is great information and perfect timing because we have our first appointment for a second opinion tomorrow.

      Bright blood in the stool would indicate bleeding down at the lower end in the colorectal area as opposed to the small bowel below the stomach where celiac manifests damage to the villous lining. Are these blood stools persistent? It's not unusual for this to happen once in a while to most anyone when a small surface vessel breaks, kind of like a nose bleed. As Scott Adams said, you must continue to consume regular amounts of gluten if the specialist will be doing additional testing for celiac disease, which could include an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining.

      Checkouts gluten-free recipes at twww.redstaryeast.com We tried a bread machine years ago and weren’t happy with results. Bread machines have pre-set rise & bake times.  Unfortunately, the program doesn’t adjust to slight differences when measuring, relative humidity or temperature of ingredients & in kitchens.  Lots of efforts for ONE odd- sized loaf that hard to cut into useable slices.  College-aged son found best use for bread machine was as heavy duty mixer that ‘kept dust in the box.’  He would pre-measure ingredients for 2-3 loaves & use machine mix up individual batches.      Since gluten-free bread needs  to rise only once, each recipe of dough went into a loaf pan. Pans sat counter to rise—time dependent of temp in kitchen. Then, baked in oven until he, not machine, decided it was done.     Took ~10 min extra up front to measure & mix additions but adds nothing to rise & bake times.     Loaves are great for slicing (Slice extra before freezing!). One mess to clean up, saves time & energy since you need to bake  as is half as often (If  you plan to bake lots more than bread, opt for KitchenAid/ heavy duty mixer instead.  Cover with dish towel to capture dust!)     Personally, I’m sure I had as a kid since I’ve never been a fan  of bread. .  Have been wrapping corn tortillas around things for 40+ years.  Can still get a dozen 12-pks of tortillas for same or less than price as 1 load of gluten-free bread. PLUS. the tortillas have more nutrients!

      Welcome to the forum. You are lucky because in Korean food, many classic meals such as bibimbap without sauce, barbecue meats and some kinds of soups generally do not have gluten. But it is a good idea to confirm with the restaurant workers for safety reasons. Regarding certain locations, I enjoy going to places such as Plant in Seoul and Sprout in Busan. Moreover, using applications like HappyCow or TripAdvisor can assist you to discover additional choices in the regions you plan to visit. One big tip: it is good to know some important Korean sentences, for example 'I cannot eat gluten' (geulluteuneul meogeul su eopseoyo)  or 'Does this have gluten?' (igeoe neun geulluteuni deureo innayo?) because they can be very helpful. If you are considering getting a local guide, I'd suggest this one https://gowithguide.com/korea They were very helpful when I needed to find places with gluten-free food options because they provide tours tailored to your preferences. Good luck with your travels! 🍻
