Only 1 question; who would be your poop transfer candidate? Out them here. I think it would be either my niece or my older sister, because they're both vegans. But I think my niece would be cleaner.
Okay, two questions. Do you have a Dr. No-Listen story? I think EVERYONE has one of these stories. LOL I went naturopathic because I wasn't getting the result I needed on a reoccurring feminine issue from a traditional doctor.
You’ve crafted a great story out of what must have been a painful experience - kudos! My PCP prescribed Tums on a Friday for my stomach pains, and I was in the operating room Sunday night, undergoing a bowel resection to remedy a complete intestinal blockage. Bit, at least I got a good story out of it. . .
Having just had another bout of severe diverticulitis which is leading me to surgery in a few weeks, I understand all things gut-related. In fact one of my nurses in hospital said to me: 'Darling, on this ward, our favourite topics of conversation are poo, wee and farts. Don't worry about the indignities at all!'
I’m going to repeat back to you something you said to me last week: that was hilarious and disgusting! So funny. It’s a shame you didn’t have the transfer, because the next time someone said to you “Don’t take any shit from anybody,” you’d be ready with the perfect response. (And thank you for the shout out!)
I remember when you went through this and it definitely wasn't funny! But you took an uncomfortable situation and you wrote about it beautifully! Plus, I would give you my poop anytime! I'd even fly up there to give it to you! I always love your humor and this essay is one of my favorites!
1. I love my wife, but I’d go with the antibiotics.
2. I told a doctor that a medication he had prescribed was causing really bad edema and that I wanted to stop the med. He told me to stop taking herbal remedies instead. I never saw him again.
Holy Sh!t, this is hilarious... I laughed out loud and at such a volume... I'm pretty sure the neighbors thought I was having another seizure... Then, there's the unmatched eloquence of your opening, "Don’t be fooled by the French word for, Difficult. This bacterium is not a romantic Parisian but a form of the Latin adjective, Difficilis, and it’s brutal." Brava! 👏 ❤
So glad you are better, Carissa! I heard you can also take it in pill form, and that there are donors for that. Science sure keeps things interesting. xo

Juicy.
I would ask for my friend Wendy's poop. She's a vegetarian. And she's my friend. 💩💜
I have too many no listen stories.
Carissa,
I'v had a sensitive stomach for most of my adult life so I was totally into the narrative eruptions of this essay.
I'd want potential poop donors to have their poop tested!
Next time we chat
This was simultaneously funny and ghastly. I have a Dr no listen story but experience says no one wants to hear it.
I sympathise.

I will never judge you for using the word heinie❤ That sentence made me howl!
You are an amazing storyteller to be able to make this situation as funny as you did. I laughed out loud many times.
My husband would be an excellent poop transfer candidate and I've thought about doing it more than once so you never know.
"who would be your poop transfer candidate?" My dog. I'm already doing it for her : )
Now I feel slighted that no one has ever asked me to be their poop transfer candidate. 4th child syndrome, maybe but seriously???
So glad you are better, Carissa! I heard you can also take it in pill form, and that there are donors for that. Science sure keeps things interesting. xo
So glad you are C.diff free. That was funny though.
