Thread: Prayers Please

My prayers are with you Joe -

Funny how we gain knowledge - I 've never heard of C. difficile before.
Upon reading, it mmediately occured to me that perhaps yogurt could aid in its treatment, as other 'good' digestive bacteria seem to be the only thing that will actually fight it - as opposed to antibiotics, because they destroy the good bacteria that may fight it off.

Upon hitting google, sure enough, that is one of the suggested treatments.
I'm sure that is being persued as an ongoing treatment as simple as it may sound.

Man - some ingeneous micro-biologist needs to develop a bacterial culture that can be introduced to the digestive tract - and as you said 'kill the bug' once and for all.

May the grace of God guide the minds and hands of those providing treatment.

My prayers will be going out to you both Joe and TRjohn at this time of need..
This site still comes up and smacks me as too how friendly and christain believing all the excellent folk on here are. It certainly reinforces in my mind that with all the horrible stuff hppening around us,we can always find time to talk to God asking for help for others that are more needy than ourselves. God Bless each and every one of you amazing people,thankyou.

Bert this all would be great except part of the problem is some of the wife's other health problems which in itself may be an underlining cause of what's going on. Her stomach empties very slowly at times, to the point that it becomes unhealthy and she gets sick. She was on antibiotics because of the last time this happened & then put on a prescription grade "digestive bacteria"(good bugs) along w/eating yogurt w/those good bugs in it too .
Along w/this she also has fibromyalgia, diabetes, heart problems just to name a few other health problems. I really wish there was a magic pill to fix her
They say The Good Lord will only give you what you can carry, but at times I believe he thinks I am a pack mule...joe
