Oh Dee, that's awful. Maybe taking acidophilus will prevent thrush.

Initially in May '03, the doctors weren't sure if the c-difficile would cause permanent colitis or Crohn's, but it didn't. She was not allowed to take antibiotics until a few days ago when she had some dental work. The dentist and doctor talked and decided that she could handle three days of antibiotics combined with probiotic acidophilus which she also had to take while treating the c-difficile. Fortunately, there are no signs of a problem, but everyone held their breath. The upsetting thing is this c-difficile might have been avoided if the doctor had told her to take acidophilus while taking antibiotics for a sinus infection back in May '03.
