• Eat fibre-rich food like whole grains, beans, lentils, berries, broccoli, peas and bananas.

• Treatment with antibacterial agents may alter the normal flora of the colon, leading to the overgrowth of Clostridium difficile. Inform the doctor if you experience symptoms of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), such as watery diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, dry mouth, headache, loss of appetite, and nausea.

Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. It can target any body part and multiply very quickly. Generalised symptoms of bacterial infection include fever, chills, and fatigue. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. However, people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines are more prone to bacterial infection.
