I had C. Diff a few years ago. I am not exaggerating when I say I was close to death. I was septic, in kidney failure and was quarantined for days. Since then I'm (anti) antibiotics. I do have a few I know I can tolerate, if needed. Since I got sick, I've studied probiotics (my friend Google) and asked every dr I've gone too. They have all said no probiotic seems better (medically) than another, it's just what works for one may not for another. And I just want to add if you are on antibiotics take your probiotic 2 hours before or after.
C Diff is such a horrible infection! I’ve had it three times, but your experience is terrifying. I hope you never go through that again! And that is a wonderful tip in taking it roughly the same time of the antibiotic!
I had two courses of antibiotics which certainly affected my gut. A friend recommended Kefir, which may or may not be made from pasteurised milk. She had taken unpasteurised, so I tried it and thankfully it worked for both of us. Just a thought, neither of us has IBD, so discuss with your doctor. Really value you for guidance of how bowel disease can affect people, certainly in UK it remains a bit taboo.
I have heard of Kefir, but have not tried it yet. Thanks for the reminder to give it a chance! I agree that gut stuff is still taboo! That is why I created this channel. I always felt so embarrassed and felt like I could not talk to anyone about it, but every single person has a gut and there are thousands of people with IBD. My channel is for people like you to recommend something that helped you and maybe it will help me and someone else! So thank you!
I had 4 different antibiotics for 3 months straight and my gut is all messed up now for the last 10 months. I believe I have SIBO with a stricture. So I had to go on a Low FODMAP, low fructose diet with low residue/low fiber diet. Probiotics hasn’t helped me.
Probiotics would not help a stricture at all, they are for balancing a healthy gut bacteria that can better your immune system and sometimes help digestive problems. I am so sorry you have been in pain for so long! I hope your doctors are being proactive in helping you and thinking outside the box of antibiotics. I hope some of my videos help make things a little easier, I'll be sending you good vibes!
Thank you for sharing your story and the information.
Can you share the supplement products you use. Are the products organic?

Guts of Glory and Gold the probiotics I took for SIBO which is Small Intestine bacterial overgrowth.
I know this is an old video but these probiotics are no good for those with ibs as they are high in fodmaps
