Re: Fairly new to SCD.....

[Guest guest]

Thanks Dawn!

It's nice to know someone else who had c. diff and has traveled a similar road

and had success with the SCD. That makes me feel hopeful.

c-section 2 years ago left me with c. diff. I have been SCD for over a year

now, but left it twice on the bad advice of 2 different doctors. I had most of

your symptoms and can completely relate to the impact it has had on your family.

SCD has helped me so much, and it will help you too. I can't say that my energy

and overall level of health is what it used to be (yet), but it gets better all

the time.

BMs that started almost immediately after beginning the diet. I've been reading

all your stories, about how long many of you have been sick, and the way people

and doctors have treated some of you.

diff that I would still be sick 3 years later, and all of the crazy things that

went haywire with my body and brain. I thought once the c. diff was out of my

intestines my life would go back to normal, but it left me with post-infectious

IBS, chronic diarrhea, malabsorption and weight loss, thyroid problems,

insomnia, panic attacks, severe depression and suicidal thoughts (2 years ago),

restless leg syndrome, brain fog, and a painful case of fibromyalgia. I was a

very healthy, active, happy, mentally stable person before all this started. I

want nothing more than to have a " normal " life again and be a good mother to my

6 year old daughter. My husband is very understanding and supportive, but I feel

guilty putting so much on him because I'm nauseous and sick much of the time.

many of you, in time, I'll get some measure of health and normalcy back in my

life.
