@sandyjr I had the FMT on Feb 28 of this year. I got symptoms of CDiff on Thanksgiving Day of 2018. I was put on Flagyl which failed and 2-3 rounds of Vancomycin. Dificid was not affordable but the FMT was free. So bizarre.. Medicare. Anyway, I have many health problems. I’m on disability due to a combo of issues. I have Crohns Disease and due to that complicating matters and my recurrent C Diff, my doc recommended it. I had trouble getting my bowels back to normal for awhile but I think that’s to be expected. At least for me due to Crohns. I did not have C Diff issues afterwards. I would recommend it! I have had many colonoscopies so this was not any different than that and a colonoscopy is no big deal. You are asleep. My doc gave me Imodium right after the FMT but when I got home I leaked a little. Looking back, he wondered if he should have given it to me before. I live in a town of 100,000 in Texas so I was thrilled he could do it and had done it before!! I hope you get well soon!!!

@sandyjr I just reread your post and saw that you have Crohns. My doc said that he hoped I would benefit from the FMT for Crohns as well. It would be hard to know since I had C Diff too, but he said he was aware that it is being tested for that purpose and he is optimistic that maybe it will he really helpful for Crohns!!!
