@feeble6tress I had Cdiff 4 separate times last year and was in the hospital for a total of 30 days. It is a horrible disease and really takes a toll on your body. I was given Vancomycin by IV each time and it did work for me. But as soon as I got home from the hospital it returned. My Doctor got the approval for Vowst, a fairly new medicine for Cdiff. It was very expensive but I decided to try it. Unfortunately it did not work for me and I got sick again after completing the prescription. (4 pills). I was put on Vancomycin capsules after the last episode. 4 pills a day for one month, then 3 pills per day and so on. I am now taking 1 pill a day for six months and am feeling much better with no issues. Prayerfully once I stopped the pills I won’t have a relapse. It was a real struggle for me and at times I thought I would never feel good again. My Doctor really worked with me and understood what I was going through. I hope you will be feeling better soon.
@joanns21 According to a world renound infectious disease doctor Vancomycim only gives a false negative. It does slow it down but it does not cure C-Diff. Word seems to spread much to slow to be of much help. When a person takes certain types of Antibiotics either by IV or pill form, C-Diff is often the outcome.
