Diverticulitis with C.difficile

I developed diverticulitis and was given anti-biotics that then gave me C-diff. I enrolled in a study about FMT, fecal microbial transplant. Yep, they put in someone's healthy poo into you via enema. In about a couple weeks, my suffering ended. No more C-diff. So very grateful I found them, in Burr Ridge IL. And they paid me for participating in the study, lol.

That is amazing news! Congratulations. I had never heard of FMT helping with something like that.

So glad to hear you have done well since your FMT. I had this done January 30th, 2023 and have done well. I am however , scared to death to take Antibiotics since that time. How long ago was your FMT done? Have you had to take antibiotics since that time? And were you told to be very cautious of taking any? I had to take some Antibiotics for Sinusitis in June, given me by my Primary Care Doctor. My Infectious Disease Dr put me on a course on low-dose Vancomycin for the course of the Antibiotic and 7 days past that. No problem. I just wondered how others who have had a successful FMT are handling needed Antibiotics ? Thank you.
