@5chances I had 4 relapses and each time it happened within 21 days of being off vancomycin. That's when I had the fmt done, about a year and a half ago. So far, so good!

You should read this article about C-diff.

My first two relapses were about two weeks after finishing the RX. After the third relapse and doing the Vanco pulse and taper for 5 weeks, it was about three weeks before my 4th and last relapse. That's when I took Dificid which finally worked for me, along with taking Florastor every day. I went through six or seven months of C-diff hell in 2018 all from taking Clindamycin for a sinus infection. I don't think people realize how debilitating it is until you go through it. I'd never even heard of it until I got it. Our home had never been so clean trying to clean everything I might have touched and wondering why the bacteria/toxin kept returning.
