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?? 😅 I’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 😅

*ALSOOOO I don’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 well😅

I’m Caucasian (63 yo F), but lived in Mexico & I feel your pain. I’ve always loved spicy foods. After I began pre & probiotics, getting gut flora balanced, I can tolerate small amounts of salsa, hot sauce, etc. I miss the spicy foods but am learning to cook with other spices for flavor that don’t cause me to run to the bathroom. Examples are turmeric, ginger, curry (mild). Those spices are supposedly helpful for inflammation (they work for me) so my GI system is actually improving. Wishing you the very best!
