Antibiotics probiotics c-diff and diarrhea


#1

My doctor recently put me on a antibiotic for 10 days to fight off an infection. Specifically c-diff. I’ve been having pretty bad diarrhea over the last couple of days. what I found online was to do a bland diet. But it’s not very keto friendly and eating all those carbs is causing my a ton of stomach bloat and my back is hurting again. Any suggestions of how I can be taking my antibiotics my probiotics and still be keto while settling my stomach.

Thank you

I just carried on eating my normal diet (keto) while spacing pre/probiotic capsules in-between the antibiotics, then introduced a little daily sauerkraut for a few days after finishing the antibiotics. I was also making my own water kefir to drink at that time.

I’d be curious to hear what you decide to do and how it worked out, hopefully for the better.

I’ve not dealt with Cdiff personally but I did go Carnivore, and found that this helped with my chronic bloating/flatulence problems. I believe it was Chris Kesser in an interview with Joe Rogan surmised that a Carnivore diet might work for some people with digestive issues because protein is largely digested in the upper small intestine. It might be one way for you to continue on Low Carb…

hope that helps.
