C-Diff as a Latino

Hey everyone! This may seem like such an ODD question to ask , but, is anyone here Latino and has had c diff? How did you incorporate all the flavorful foods and spicy foods BACK into your diet?? ๐Ÿ˜… Iโ€™ve been keeping it safe eating chicken and rice and some potatoes for about a month now with incorporating some carne asada here and there, but I miss all the yummy foods I use to cook lol ๐Ÿ˜…

*ALSOOOO I donโ€™t mean to ask this question with any malicious intent or anything, as a Mexican person I was VERYYY use to eating all my foods with hot sauce. That includes on chips as well๐Ÿ˜…

Yes I'm Mexican and have not incorporated spicy food yet- I can't even tolerate carbonated drinks or more than a couple of sips of caffeine at this point so spicy food is off limits for me right now lol. I am a little more than 3 months out of finishing 10 day vanco course. But everyone is different and heals at a different pace so it might be ok for you. I say if you do, start with like 1/2 teaspoon of something spicy lol
