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

@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!

I had C-diff after surgery for hiatal hernia. Was so sick I didn’t want to live. The antibiotic helped and no more C-diff. Now I have SIBO. Took Xifaxan (very expensive) for two weeks. Felt like my old self again. After two days off the antibiotic, it returned. Waiting for insurance to approve a second go around.

Thanks for your input.
Where did you have the FMT procedure done? At Mayo in MN?
Do you know if the fecal matter came from OpenBiome in MA? (They have had issues since 2020. Prior to that seems to have been great.)
OR did you have a relative or friend donor?
Thank you for allowing me to openly ask questions.
