C Difficilw and chronic pain :'(



Recommended Posts

Hi Everybody,

I had a revision from a sleeve to bypass along with a hiatal hernia repair on January 13, 2014 in Montreal. I had C Difficile 3 times between November 3, 2013 until January 12, 2014 (before the surgery) and it has recurred twice since the surgery between January 13, 2014 and today (February 11, 2014). The cost of each treatment is roughly $1300. Now since the surgery, the pain hasn't subsided yet. It has migrated though... Where it use to be solely on the area of my belly button. Now it has moved to my right side just under my ribcage and resonates around to my back.

The pain is awful, and the diarrhea is constant. I am at my wits end with all of this and really want to get up and go out, but I can't. Basically, I'm just about completely bed ridden or toilet ridden. Right now, I take 5 hot baths a day, I have a hot water bottle that I sleep with on my tummy and a pillow between my knees.

Please somebody tell me what else I can do.

Apart from adding in Probiotics to replenish your good gut bacteria i'm not sure what else to suggest to you.

You say your pain is predominantly on the right hand side. Is there a possibility that it's your gall bladder? Your symptoms sure sound like it could be.

Hope you feel better soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
