Suggest Alternative Treatment For Severe Headache And Stomach Cramp

I am a 34 yr old woman who was recently diagnosed with C Diff with symptoms for awhile.(yesterday actually and probably because all the antibiotics I have taken the last year from hidradenitis suppurateeva.) I have lost 40 lbs since Thanksgiving. Diarrhea, Extreme stomach cramping and fevers for the last month in a half. I was put on metronidazole 2 weeks ago which only lasted for a few days because I could not keep it down(Dr thought it was C Diff but lab results came back from stool samples yesterday). I was on an anti nausea medicine but it didn t help and gave me headaches. so I have taken another antibiotic which I cant remember like SMTP or something to that effect( threw the bottle because I finished them). Well they put me back on the metronidazole with another anti nausea med and I am still puking with a headache. My stomach cramps seem to be worse even though my diarrhea is not as often or watery, still it is diarrhea. I have also been taking a probiotic for approximately 3 weeks now. What should I do if I cannot keep the medicine down with these bad headaches and terrible stomach cramps? PLease help!!!! Aimee

Hi,

Since you have taken lots of antibiotics already you should try to avoid them and use natural remedies to treat your diarrhea. Probiotics are not harmful so you can continue using them and in addition avoid eating unhealthy and unhygienic food. Use home made freshly prepared food in clean utensils.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Afia Mazhar, General & Family Physician
