@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?

I’m sorry that you have this problem as well. The vancomycin failed and now the Dificid that I just finished does not seem to have worked either. The gastroenterologist said that I had to wait to be retested but did not indicate how long. This experience has been beyond frustrating and you wonder if this infection can be eradicated but seemingly you are always going to be colonized with the bacteria to some extent.

I think the next step will be FMT. That is why I asked about the FMT capsules. I'm still praying that the Dificid will work. I finished that RX one week ago.
