Has anyone had dietary success with C-diff?

If taking any antibiotics take florastor with the antibiotics. Prevents c-diff.

Have you or anyone used VOWST?
Currently taking Vanco. again.

I had CDiff three times. The first time, it lasted for many many months and the infectious disease doctor told me that other than taking vanco, there was nothing he could do for me. Another GI doctor suggested that instead of taking on again/off again vanco, to taper off. This did the trick and I did that with the next two episodes. I've not ha CDiff for 7 years now. It sounds like the fecal implant is something new. Sounds like it is the ticket to your horrible dilemma. Best wishes for you.

I'd suggest don't waste your time on band aid treatments like diet and antibiotics. My sister had CDIff for a long time. She suffered so much then she thankfully found a GI doctor who did fecal transplant, I was the donor for the fecal matter. Literally the next day she was 100% cured and stayed cured, after long months of horrible symptoms every day before that! Don't mess around and suffer, this is an easy quick procedure that works for C Diff, it has a 90% cure rate, how many other procedures can say that? Don't do the on line fecal capsules or anything have a GI doctor who does it regularly do it. They can get you donor fecal matter or as we did I was her donor, but I had to have stool analyzed first to be sure I did not have C Diff or something else to transfer to her. Afterwards sure, eat a healthy diet of many varied healthy foods and yogurt etc but the only thing that is pretty much guaranteed to cure you is Fecal transplant of healthy stool into your colon by a trained professional.

Hello

What are the best food to eat to battle C-Diff?

I had Antibiotic resistant CDIFF and ended up getting a FMT. Kiefer has worked for me since 2014.

Hi Elaine,
Thank you so much for your response. I definitely will look into the Garden of Life Probiotic. I think those cultures would be less harsh on my stomach along with the added fiber. I am eating Chobani Sugar free yogurt
while I'm still on Vancomycin. It was the only one I found that was sugar free. I usually eat the Chobani Greek
which I hope to get back to soon.
I am looking forward to getting back to normal! C-Diff is horrible!

Hi mabbs24,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Someone suggested Forastor, but I was hesitant, bc the Sacc. Boulardii works differently in our systems (as I understand it).

I have been taking "Garden of Life Probiotic for Women, 40 Billion,"which was suggested by my GP. It has a variety of Lactobacillus cultures (30 Billion) and Bifidobacterium (10 Billion, plus Organic Potato and Acacia Fiber. I haven't had any stomach issues with this so far (on it for over a year).Maybe this would help you?

Hope your current protocol works for you.

Do you eat Greek or another type of yoghurt?
Thanks again,
Elaine

Hello,
I also got C-diff after taking an antibiotic and was put on Vancomycin for 10 days four times daily. The day
after I stopped I had a recurrence. I am now near the end of a tapering of Vancomycin. One capsule, 4X per day for 10 days, then one capsule twice a day for seven days, then one capsule a day for seven days, then one capsule every other day for 14 days. I am near the end now with 2 capsules left. I have been drinking Kefir and Kombucha daily and eating sugar free yogurt. I did try Florastor but stopped because it gave me a stomach ache.
