Me too!!

I had symptoms since January of this year and I didn't realize what I had until the middle of May when the symptoms turned really ugly and brought me to hospital.

Two different antibiotics, total 2000 mgs per day, three weeks off work and a 1000 mg suppository to use for 6 weeks.

Horrible!! I want concise answers.

Pepto does help. I find buttermilk helps too. I just learned buttermilk is beneficial for the digestive system.

Does anyone think espresso or coffee causes symptoms?
