Maybe this info will be of help to someone:
1. Got C-diff 8 days after I finished a round of Clindamycin for a dental procedure.
2. Took Vandocmycin for 10 days. C-Diff recurred within a week.
3. Did Vancomycin pulse and taper over 2 month period. Took Florastor probiotics, drank kefir (yuk) and ate kimchi and fermented foods.
4. The first 3 weeks after being off the Vancomycin were tenuous in the bathroom but returned to normal most days. It’s now been 2 months with no return of the C-Diff demon. I still take 1 Florastor capsule daily and added a 50 billion live cultures probiotic a few times a week.

I’ve had pretty good luck with specific probiotics the more millions the better.

I, too, got cdiff from clindamycin almost 4 years ago. I relapsed 3 more times over a 6 month period and then got the fmt in March, 2019. To this day, I still worry about getting it again. I still take visbiome every other day. I still worry about getting sick and needing an antibiotic.
