@cre8tive I, too, suffered from cdiff in 2018. Also had 3 separate relapses which brought me into March of 2019. At that time, my gastroenterologist suggested fmt which I did and so far has been successful. I, too, wondered why I wasn't offered fmt sooner? I have decided it's the drug company that produces vancomycin. I truly believe that they make the patient go through 3 rounds of vancomycin ( which for me was very expensive!) The fmt costs a lot less but they don't give a hoot about the patient! I still have not been able to gain back the 14 lbs I lost. I don't know of anyone who has been able to get the fmt after the first or second relapse. It's all about the money!

Thank you for that information. Yes, from what I've been reading, you have to relapse at least twice before they consider FMT. This is my first bout of C. Diff. and I had no idea how awful it is for anyone going through it. After 14 days of Flagyl, and 2 - 14 day rounds of Vancomycin, my GI doc called in Dificid which I'm waiting on the pharmacy to receive. I'm just praying the Dificid will work. I'm so happy for you that the FMT worked and you've been free from the C. Diff for what 2 years now! That's great.
