Skin or Soft Tissue Infection
"Due to cellulitis on my ankle, I was given clindamycin, and as the pharmacist suggested, I immediately began taking high dosage of probiotics. In spite of the precaution, I developed a full body rash and 3 bouts of c difficile. The cellulitis, was therefore treated with yet another antibiotic. The cellulitis finally healed completely after 2 months, and the c difficile was eventually cleared, and after 6 months the labs results came back negative (meaning I no longer had it). I continue to take probiotics, but a lower dosage, for sheer fright of the CD recurring. I was told that continual bouts of CD would likely eventually require surgical intervention. A VERY frightening experience."
