Will I ever get rid of C diff?

I also went through Vancomycin and then Difficid for c diff in conjunction with ulcerative colitis.

For probioticx, my GI recommended Florastor + suggested I try 4 oz kefir/day.

But +when meds failed both the GI I originally went to and the GI I now see since the 1st retired (both at Mayo Phoenix) were going to try FMT (fecal matter transplant) for recurrent c diff once I met Medicarre's criteria for coverage (having to do with tests establishing repetitive c diff. (But the issue became moot after I had a colectomy.)

I totally emphasize. It interferes and makes life totally miserable!

... well, I guess I emphasize, but I really meant to say empathize. 😆

Thank you for sharing your journey. Was the colectomy due to the cdiff and did they remove all or part of the colon? How have you been doing with the colectomy? Have you had any complications? Wishing you good health in the new year.
