Ask for Vancomycin if they will allow it....for C. difficile.

You may not have that however, and just a Candida overgrowth.

Did you take antibiotics with this surgery?

There is another drug, but I don't know if you have it there:
rifaximin (Xifaxan)
This is being used here for IBS and bacterial diarrheas. Don't know if it will work for C. difficile tho.
I took antibiotics intravenus when I had surgery. They were not even telling me what they were shooting me up with. They were just doing it. When I got out about 3 1/2 weeks post surgery I did something very stupid. I thought I had another UTI and I took 4 leftover cephalosporin antibiotcs from my last UTI. That is when my problem started. I got diarrhea & cramping straight away. That was over 8-9 days ago. All my symptoms are gastro. I don't have diarrhea but I go to the bathroom 3 times a day and I have a very soar belly now.
