Trying to recover from a c. diff infection (Clostridium difficile)

Re: C-diff.
(New to this posting.)
Have had 5 recurrent C-diff infections in past 1 yr. 4 mos.
Had Vancomycin, DIFICID, Vancomycin again and again, and now a recomendation to combine VAN w/Xifaxan (Rifaximin).
Next suggestion is IV infusion of Bezlotoxumab (a human monoclonal antibody) along w/antibiotic. Has anyone had these last two procedures? Successful? Negative side effects?
2) Has anyone considered FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplant)?Or used the FMT Pill? Successful? Negative side effects?
Thank you,
Getting Desperate

@epm I, too, had reoccurring cdiff in 2018. After the 4th one, I got the fmt. Best thing I ever did! Although, I still have not gained the weight back, I am doing ok. I know my body will never be the way it was before cdiff, I make sure to take probiotics every day! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! Good luck!
