    Hi.
    I am a fit(normally) 67 year old woman and 4 weeks back from Indonesia, having succumbed to bad diahorrea and been hospitalised, two lots of Metronidaziol , (I have a permanent Ileostomy for 34 years) I returned home and still feeling unwell was told I had microscopic blood in my urine. Trimethoprim, still blood so Microbid, then C. Difficile diagnosed and 10days of Vancomycin. Still microscopic blood detected. Booked kidney scan to see if anything turns up. Eat really healthily, bit nauseous lost about 3 lbs (weight normally 56 kgs) I’m aware that all the good gut flora will have been knocked out by this antibiotic onslaught but any advice…..?.?

    1) Get a really thorough and comprehensive microbiome analysis; 2) Ask your gastroenterologist about Faecal Matter Transfer. Good luck! Graham
