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

In April, I took Clindamycin for a sinus infection. I took 4 a day for 12 days. Within two weeks from completing it, I had Cdiff. I was given Flagyl for 10 days, Within one week, Cdiff was back. I was then given Vancomycin for 10 days. Again, within a week, Cdiff was back. I was then given Vanco for 5 weeks and did the pulse and taper method. I felt great for 3 weeks and thought this method had worked. Unfortunately, Cdiff came back for a 4th time. One week ago, I completed 10 days on Dificid. I pray to God, this RX works. I've looked in to the FMT by capsules. Thirty pills taken at once and the price is $635. Has anyone done FMT using the capsules?

@pines, it is my understanding that c diff can be difficult to get rid of and to stay rid of. Has your provider discussed with you why you keep relapsing and what your potential options are moving forward if your current treatment does not work?
