Thanks I feel better knowing that one round of Vanco got rid of it for you.. I will be off vanco tomorrow and hope it works for me. Did you have any diaheera after vanco? Do you now take any probotics or anything to help improve?

@minge From what I can recall, it took 2 to 3 weeks to relapse each
time after going off the vancomycin. Please keep us posted on your progress and the best of luck to you!

No diahrreah. But I could not pass stool without medication. This has been going on since February. I do have a "tortuous intestine", which means it's much longer than I need for a person my size. This has been a life long issue. But since having C-diff it made it worse. I actually was finally becoming regular when I contracted C-diff. Afterwards I tried and did everything the doctors suggested. Miralax, Bisacodyl, probitotics,fiber, lots of water, etc. This is now seven months later and I'm finding that JUST RECENTLY Prunelax minitabs are working for me. (of course, eating right, exercise, fiber, and water but not having to take Miralax, etc.,......which just made me feel awful, bloated, etc.) Prunelax is a natural product and not a chemical. I have to take four of them to work on me though and it took awhile for my body to adjust to them,.....maybe a week or two and all of a sudden it started to work! I also plan on trying a "Senokot" version (or generic) because of the cost but I don't want to mess anything up right now. It's working! I understand what you are going through. I will be hoping that you heal soon! It seems to vary with people. I wish the best to you. Jacque
