Posted by chatticathi @chatticathi, Feb 21, 2022

I dont know where to open this topic, not cancer, should I do it or not, 5 bouts of c diff in 2021, 3 hospital stays, 1 c diff now, vancomycin for 6 months, off it for 2 weeks, that's when I got c diff again, now, what the hell to do, I'm 75 and terrified

Here you can connect with others who have had C-diff and Fecal Microbiota Transplant to help them avoid repeat infections like @sandyabbey @pines @nettecook @concernedmtnmom and @wendyw

My sister had a fecal transplant for C diff it worked immediately and she stayed better. She had horrible C Diff for 6 months from taking an antibiotic, then she was given more antibiotics to try to get rid of it that did nothing. Then she had fecal transplant, I was the donor. She was 100 better the following day and stayed better, it works. Don't do at home capsules or anything like that, go to a qualified doctor who does the procedure who will be sure the stool you are getting has no pathogens in it, and you will be better immediately.
