@sandyabbey It sounds like you must have relapsed after taking Dificid (fidaxamicin). I went through 4 bouts of Cdiff in 2018 but after taking Difiid last October, I have not relapsed. I didn't bleach blankets or anything like that. One thing I did do last October is discard the pillow I sleep with between my knees. I've had 3 back surgeries and have to sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees. I don't know if that was infected or not, but I tossed it out. Like you, I was diligent cleaning the bathroom. Are you doing the capsules from OpenBiome? That's what I had decided to do if I relapsed again. Please keep us updated after your FMT. I've made it through most of the winter without needing an antibiotic for sinus infections. I wish they would take Clindamycin off the market. I wish you well and have positive results from the FMT. I hope more people give us updates after they do FMT.

I’m having my FMT via endoscopy into the small intestine. I still have to have that awful prep & I don’t understand that. My GI doesn’t want to do it via colonoscopy because last year when I had one he had a hard time. He said my intestine was so many twists & turns that it was not the bast way for me
