I found that the only cure for cdiff is a FMT. I was so lucky to have found a place, Metro Infectious Disease Control office, in Burr Ridge IL, where they are running a trial. I have been cdiff free for almost 3 months. No pain, nothing whatsoever. I am back to normal, eating anything, after losing 30 lbs. Best thing is that I am getting paid for the trial.

@beckyt I agree 100% with you. I took enough vancomycin over 6 months to kill a horse! And I still kept relapsing. So, in March of 2019, I had the fmt and I believe it saved my life. I had gone down to 86 lbs. and still can't gain any weight back but feel ok. Also, once you have had cdiff, your chances of getting it again are high. So, any time my stomach acts up, I get very nervous. To this day, I continue to alternate taking visbiome and saccharomyces boulardii every day. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
