I’ve had cdiff earlier this year. Surgery is tomorrow. I’m worried this will trigger a relapse.

Is there anyone out there with cdiff preop or post op?

I have never had it myself, but had a friend with it after a big abdominal surgery. I would make sure to bring this up with your Dr. to ease your mind.

I have talked at length with my surgeon about this. We have a good plan in place. Cdiff is so horrible that nothing can make the anxiety go away.

lots of probiotics and yogurt and fermented foods!!!! ((hugs)) and prayers!

Get some Yakult! A study was done here at one of the big Universities and they found those drinking daily yakult or similar had a much lower incidence of c-diff. We started giving it to all our pre and post-op patients. Obvs you can't the first 2 days but I would def get it in once off clear fluids, everything crossed you don't get it again, hopefully, you won't have any antibiotics to start it off. Good Luck!
