I am having a similar problem’slrhough i tested positive for c diff both times that ii waa tested. I am seeing an infectious disease specialist next Monday so I’ll let you know if the doctor has anything informative to share.
I inquired about a study using the fecal pills and the study requirements did not allow newly diagnosed individuals. The fecal transplant via colonosccopy seems to available in different states and i may seek out someone who has experience with the procedure next.
Did you get tested for all the usual suspects ya including giardia ?

Yes I tested negative for CDiff twice, and also underwent a stool panel that ruled out Giardia and other pathogens. GI doc thinks it is SIBO because I initially respond to antibiotics (Flagyl) and then slide back to loose stools and diarrhea. A CT scan of my belly did not show abnormalities and a routine colonoscopy a year ago was normal. I have been plagued with this for nearly four months which is nothing compared to others here but have lost nearly twenty pounds and don’t know what to eat to heal my gut. The reason it was thought to have been CDiff initially was because this all coincided with me taking Clindymycin for another infection. But something is clearly wrong with me
