How did they treat your C.Dif? Was the treatment sucessful? Alot of people I know can't get rid of it. Before my sigmoid cholectomy I was on ABX for 5 Mos. On and off for Diverticulitis. Have been tested numerous times since for C. Dif. Because of diarrhea and so far the test come back negative for C. Dif.

I spent six days in the hospital on IV of Flagyl and oral vancomycin 4 x a day and Florastor probiotic 3 x a day. When I was released I continued to take vancomycin four times a day and the florastor three times a day for 10 days. I am continuing to take the probiotic twice a day for a week and then I will go down to once a day. So far seem to be adjusting. But I don’t believe that the c diff is killed. I also have heard it’s very difficult to get rid of. I just want to try to live my life the best I can. But I’m sure I will always be looking over my shoulder for another flareup. Hopefully if I don’t take any antibiotics I should be OK. We will see. I know they can do a fecal transplant for people who keep getting it but I’m hoping that won’t be me.
