Breastfeeding

HELP

I have a big big problem. I was diagnosed with CDiff today and my doctor prescribed me metronidazole. I told his nurse I didn't want that drug because I couldn't breastfeed on it. I suggested vancomycin and she told me just to take the other and stop BFing. I didn't argue because I do have like 500 oz saved up but I'll be on this drug for like 10 days and the nurse couldn't tell me how long it would take to be out of my system. It may not even get rid of the CDiff! The nurse I talked to was a jerk and didn't understand why I wanted to keep BFing. My insurance covers vancomycin but the pharmacist and the doc said vancomycin wasn't safe either. Isn't it rated L1 for safety? What source does that come from? I'm so stressed over this, someone please help. Should I get a new doc? I think any doc where I live wouldn't care about BFing.
