It occurs when antibiotics are used prior to surgery in which the
antibiotic kills the good bacteria in the system, leaving the
toxic bacteria to take over, resulting in continual diarreah(sp).

Have you tried to repopulate your intestinal flora by using probotics such
as Culturelle http://www.culturelle.com/ or Lyosan's Acidophilus

No John, I was unaware of the culture you referred to. I was under the care of the hosp doc, and the only
antibiotic he gave me was flagyl, also with horrible results.

Thanks for the nice words, Jerry. I'm so pleased that your Mother
recovered and hope she continues to
recuperate. It's a hellish situation--I had never been as sick in my life
as with this situation. I'm not
totally recovered yet, but on the way. I still need a walker to keep my
balance when standing or walking, and
am still in physical therapy.
