SynopsisThis book will help you: * learn about the dangers and treatment options concerning the microbacteria, Clostridium difficile, and antibiotic-induced colitis. * research white papers, medical advice, and natural options. Ellen Pendleton was unaware of C. diff when she came down with show-stopping symptoms. Intuition and internet research led her to figure out what caused her symptoms, then discovered what to do and what NOT to do. The C. diff book is her journal from beginning to wellness, offering options and links to help you make decisions. Every heard of mangosteen? L. reuteri? Saccharomyces boulardii? News updates and links: http: //www.CdiffBook.com "Now, . . . it's a home remedy but black tea could stop the diarrhea. And you could take some Imodium. Do you have any Imodium?" says the dentist on the phone after I call him to report after-procedure symptoms. I pause, wrinkle my face and say, "But what if I have Clostridium difficile bacteria? I read that one should not take any anti-diarrhea medications, especially Imodium, because with Clostridium difficile it could make things worse." "C. difficile is very rare. I doubt that you have it. Take your temperature and call me back, . . . not right away, . . . in a couple of hours, and let me know if you have a fever. Okay?" Imagine what your life would be like if you didn't have Clostridium difficile induced symptoms. This book will strengthen your knowledge to allow more informed decisions regarding treatment and diet. This book helps you with information to decrease painful symptoms, improve your health and boost your immune system. With experience as a former associate editor for a monthly magazine and a documentation technician with an Associate Degree of Science in Electronics, Pendleton logged the symptoms, information, diet, drug options, process of healing, resources, treatment options, diet, communications, correspondence, tips, hints and emotions on her path to recovery. She then felt compelled to share her journal to open the conversation and increase public awareness. If your symptoms suspect Clostridium difficile bacteria or if your lab tests have detected C. diff , some important decisions need to be made immediately: "Should I take anti-diarrhea medications like Imodium?" NO NO (CONTRAINDICATIVE). Should I take antibiotics like metronidazole (Flagyl), vancomycin, fidaxomicin? What about probiotics? Which ones? Prebiotics? Fecal Transplant? Diet? What foods can I eat? What is bacteriophage therapy? What about a non-pathogenic E. coli course? Mutaflor and Florastor? Pendleton has researched the options and is sharing the information. SIDE EFFECT/ADVERSE EVENTS FOR MANY BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTICS: Antibiotic-induced Clostridium difficile colitis. CAUTION - Please read the inserts for drugs before putting them in your body. DISCLAIMER: Ellen Pendleton is not a medical doctor or expert and does not have any medical training or education. The information in this book is offered to raise awareness and present treatment options., What treatments are available? If your lab tests have detected "Clostridium difficile" bacteria, some important decisions need to be made: "Should I take antidiarrheals like Imodium?" NO!!! (CONTRAINDICATIVE). Should I take antibiotics like Metronidazole (Flagyl), vancomycin, Fidaxomicin? What about probiotics? Which ones? Prebiotics? Fecal Transplant? Diet? What foods work best? What is phage therapy? Non-pathogenic "E. coli?" And what about Mutaflor and Florastor? On December 1, 2014, Ellen Pendleton went to the dentist. Soon followed antibiotic-induced pseudomembranous colitis and "Clostridium difficile" infection, CDI. Bedridden with her laptop, Ellen channeled her efforts into Internet research. Being a journaler, former associate editor, with an Associate Degree of Science in Electronics, Ellen logged the symptoms, information, diet, medication options, process of healing, resources, treatment options, diet, communications, correspondence, tips, hints and emotions on the path to recovery and feels compelled to share her journal. LISTED AS A SIDE EFFECT FOR MANY BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTICS: Antibiotic-induced "Clostridium difficile" colitis. CAUTION - Please read the inserts for medications. Ellen didn't. If she had read the insert of the broad-spectrum antibiotic that she took, she might have said "NO." She didn't even know its name. Healthy Ellen went from a dentist appointment, to symptomatic pseudomembranous colitis, recovery and back to healthy. Had she followed her dentist's advice for dealing with the CDI (taking Imodium), the result may have been Toxic MegaColon, colectomy or death. Fortunately she had done her homework. Thank goodness for the Internet. Thank goodness for white papers. Thank goodness that the Internet is FREE and available. May this publication spread awareness of the Microbacteria, "Clostridium difficile" and antibiotic-induced colitis information, options, treatments, risks and warnings to help prevent this from happening to another Spirit Being Human. DISCLAIMER: Ellen is not a medical doctor or expert and does not have any medical training or education. But with grace, love and support, she kicked "C. DIFF" testing clean of the bacteria 12 March 2015. News updates and links: "http: //www.CDIFFbook.com" Also by Ellen Pendleton "Read & Run" Coming soon: "Take A Hike Little Tree"
