190 – Antibiotic Use Leads to C. diff – My Interview with Jerry Bader

C. diff (Clostridium difficile) is a bacterium that causes inflammation of the colon, known as colitis. This is a problem that is on the rise. C. diff is a bacteria seeking an opportunity. It often occurs after someone has been treated with antibiotics for other issues. In this interview, you will learn how Jerry acquired C. diff after antibiotic treatment for diverticulitis. Another friend of mine acquired it after antibiotic use for sinusitis. These are people who had been prescribed antibiotics numerous times for these conditions and these treatments finally led to C. diff infection. This is a cautionary tale.
