Hi Dr. Breite,
First of all, thank you for your radio show- you are helping many people!
I can't call with a question because I am driving when you are on, so here it is:
I have a family member who needs help. What would you suggest in this scenario:
What if someone has Crohns, Ulcerative Colitis, etc. and gets c-diff. (Caused by taking doycycline for oral pemhpigus). Then they take Difficid for 2 weeks to get rid of the c-diff. They were checked and are clear. Then a few months later, they get the usual UC symptoms (diarrhea, cramps, etc.) How does the person know it is UC/Crohns versus the c-dif coming back? What are the chances it comes back (assuming no hospital visits and no more antibiotics)? We are concerned we will think it is one thing, when it may be something more dangerous and miss it. Can it come back by itself?
Thanks for all of your work!
interesting....will talk about it.
Ok great, thanks
