Thank you so much for responding so quickly! Have you been able to eat normally as you did prior to infection? I am 1 month after completion of vancomycin. I don’t seem to have symptoms of recurrence but I am very limited in what I can eat now. I am down 24 lbs since infection and am trying to eat enough to keep weight on without upsetting my gut.

No, not able to eat normally I am almost half way through the second 10 day cycle of Vancomycin. Still having stomach rumbling. cramping and numerous episodes of diarrhea per day.
Frankly, it doesn’t appear to be working nearly as well this time. Last time by this point, about halfway, my diarrhea was gone.
I made it about 8 or 9 days after the first cycle before the it returned.
I would like to know how long you and others who have made improvement stick with a careful controlled diet after going off Vancomycin?

@btc46 I have been eating normally. However, I have not been able to gain any weight! Very frustrating!
