In Oct 2020, i was dx with c diff. I was 47 years old female no prior hx of antibiotic use with in the prior months. After my third trip to the er they kept me 6 days because my Ct showed inflammation in my colon due to the c diff. Let me add that my gastro put me on Prilosec for the rest of my life he said, due to stomach ulcers. Acid suppression, is also linked to c diff vulverability. However, they decided the prilosec was more important than my risk of recurrent c diff. Dec 22nd, 2020 i had FMT by capsules, i swallowed 30 in 7 min. Although i was so deathly nauseasted all thru Christmas, the 5th day after my transplant i had the first normal BM i have ever had in i can remember. I have had bouts with diarrhea and constipation my entire life it seems.. My infection disease dr that did the FMT however, did not tell me i needed to increase my fiber for these 'microbes' I never heard him mention either. So, today is June 9, 2021 and i lay in my bed on my second round of yes, antibiotics. First difficid, now vanco.. scheduled for my 2nd FMT June 16th. Im wondering if my prilosec will keep me going thru this forever. Im depressed, anxious, upset, my view of how the health care field as a whole doesnt seem to care anymore...
