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.
