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.

Interesting that they are giving Florestor. My Doctor recommended it too. When the diarrhea was real bad 4 a day. It is expensive but my Doctor told me they are actually using it to treat C. Dificil in trials and preliminary testing is promising. It might cut down the length of having to take Vanco. How many a day were you taking?
