Yes, my 4 mth old son. It's been hell... He just started the Flagyl Wednesday and am crossing my fingers. Still has the runny green poop though but maybe not as much abdominal cramping. I was taking Vanco 125 4x's per day but just called doc and am going to take 250 3x's per day. Hope this helps my flu-like symptoms (aches and pains, headaches, and runny "D") Hard just to make it thru the day lately!!!

dose
Hi Jodie,
Sorry to hear about the miserable green beast...i know all about it.
I was going to suggest you call your GI and ask about a dose increase, and I see you did do that already so that should help. In my case, I did not respond to the 125's of 250's I needed 500 mg 4x per day...and for 6 weeks to start thena VERY gradual tapering. You can have diarrhea while on vanco, but in yoru case it sounds like you did need a higher dose. I hope it helps! It does take a few days to kick in, in my case it never seems to kick in but I am a c.diff mutant, any my body doesnt liek to respond to things! he hee Seriously, hang in there! try ttaking florastor
and some probiotics it should help alot. Pepto bismol can help too, up to 8 caps a day I am on. Ask youf GI. :)

Thanks Whitepine!!! Yesterday was the worse relapse I've ever had. The "D", my back, neck and shoulders hurt so bad, my head was total fog (wonder if that's from the toxins), even my gums hurt (anyone experience that before?) My stomach sounded like the devil himself laughing and barking at me all night. Well I upped the dose and am feeling slightly better already...Whew!!! This just gets scarier and scarier sometimes....Waiting patiently for Vanco to truly kick in (hopeful)
