@beckyt I, too, had an fmt 3 1/2 years ago after dealing with 4 bouts of cdiff for 6 months. I believe it saved my life! I still worry that if I get sick, I'll have to have antibiotics. What I don't understand is why they make you keep taking vancomycin over and over again before they offer the fmt. I believe it's the drug companies that control the situation. If they let you have the fmt after the first bout of cdiff, no one would be taking vancomycin! Just my opinion.
