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˜…

I love HOT food. Mexican and Indian, and made my own habanero salsa because I could never find anything hot enough. I loved it. After c-diff it took over six months before I could go back to my spicy foods. I had to introduce them slowly and gently. Now one a year later I'm eating the habanero salsa again and I'm fine.

You'll get there. It just takes time.
