A member asked:
Being treated for c.diff with vancomycin. can take immodium to help with diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes …but: You have both Ulcerative Colitis and C. Diff induced Colitis. If UC is in remission, as C. Diff. infection becomes under control your diarrhea will be controlled. Unless you have intractable diarrhea, I would not recommend Imodium (loperamide). Make sure you drink plenty of Electrolyte water, Avoid High fiber diet at present.
