Also, any diearty advice?... I am taking Probiotics, Aloe Vera gel, Flax seed oil and a multi Vit... any other suggestions on diet - do's & don'ts..... would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks Craig

Craig,
There's info about Xifaxan under the Treatments section, and there's info about diet under Nutrition in the FAQs section.
Have you tried tapering or pulsing off of either Flagyl or vanco? My understanding is that pulsing is more effective than tapering, which didn't work for me (I'm now pulsing off vanco).
Re diet, most people find dairy products (except yogurt) are a problem. Aside from that, what I've found in my almost 7 months of cdiff is that diet is trial and error. What you can tolerate differs from person to person. I can't eat much fat or fiber or anything spicy, and I don't drink coffee or alcohol.
Good luck.
