Sorry to hear about your struggle. Have you thought of looking into seeking a naturopathic approach along with what you are doing? Sometimes taking antimicrobial along with your antibiotic can help. Check it out and read online about it.

mhi and dilly69, Thank you both for input and your support. As I said, I’ve been working with a dietitian whom I really feel is benefitting me as there is so little out there on diet during and after vanco. Coincidentally, this week I began looking for a doctor who stresses homeopathic treatment and is knowledgeable in cdiff. A bit of a challenge, so still looking. But I will read about antimicrobials. Thank you again for your advice. Do not hesitate to give it.

dilly69, good luck as you come off vanco. I too will be praying for your recovery. You asked about probiotics. Others on here know more than I, but I switched from a bacteria based probiotic to a yeast based probiotic (Florastor) during this last round of vanco. Two 250 mg capsules twice a day. Because I’m still on vanco, I’m still taking it. I plan to take it after I go off vanco, but I will add a bacteria based probiotic when I go off the vanco. By the time I go off the vanco, I’m hoping my system will handle prebiotics, both supplements and foods, fermented foods, etc to help support the good bacteria.
