Very interested in any online references on the C Diff treatment please? OH had it last spring (he was run down and took routine cephalosporin antibiotics) and metronidazole is a horrible drug. A cricket colleague of his still has recurrent C Diff which is ruining his life.
I've read about faecal implant, but the UK sites made it sound so last resort and invasive. If a pill were developed,that would be incredible.
Get angry about the delay and suffering that international drug licences could avoid (topic of very good film, the Dallas Buyer's Club). I'm sure it's related as much to Big Pharma as to safety. If it's licenced in Canada, it should be here.
Good luck with it all. Keep us updated.
For more common or garden constipation caused by IBS and meno (not colitis or other illness) a gastroenterologist (post colonoscopy) put me on to 2 tablespoons of ground golden linseed every morning. Started with 1 tablespoon, then gradually increased the dose. It works quite well. You must drink a full glass of water after eating it though. I mix it into porridge and it doesn't affect the taste.
