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.

Please explain FMT. What is it and what is done to you? I was told I have Diverticulosis and will just have to live with the pain on my right side that comes and goes because I'm too old to do anything. I have to be careful what I eat. Chicken, fish, zucchini, pasta with pesto sauce and come cheese are my new diet.

I had a FMT 9 years ago . With in 5 days I was feeling so much better. I had to search different states because nobody here in Texas did that according to all my Dr’s. The C DIFF I had was antibiotic resistant. I took Flagyl for 9 months and it kept me out of the hospital but didn’t cure me. I researched anything that could help me because my Dr’s could only give Flagyl. I found a Dr in Florida. I wasn’t able to travel so he sent everything I needed next day. God Bless Him. I won’t take another broad spectrum antibiotic and when I do have to take a antibiotic I drink Kiefer the entire time.
