Brief Answer:
Please follow the suggestions below
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
You are reporting to have had C . Difficile infection three months ago.
Also you have been on antiobiotic treatment during this time.
This is why I strongly suggest to do stool test for candida overgrowth.
It is the major side effect of antibiotic used for a long time.
Meantime I would recommend to :
- use plenty of water
- continue to use probiotics
- use simeticone to avoid bloating ang gas.
Discuss with your physician to start anti fungal treatment after stool test results.
Wish you all the best!
