1 Year After FMT

[jlr627]

Hey everyone,

Jen here. I just celebrated one year C Diff free a few days ago after having a Fecal Transplant last year. A few months ago I had strept throat and had to take antibiotics and made it through without getting C Diff again!

Life has been pretty good since the FMT. I am not quite like I was before any of this happened BUT I am certainly better than I was last year. I have some residual IBS (gas, bloating etc) and sometimes my digestive system will just act up but no C Diff. I take probiotics and try to keep my stress low and watch what I eat.

I am SO grateful that I was able to get an FMT. After 2 bouts of C Diff I was in bad shape.

Thanks for reading. Would love to hear how everyone else is doing.

Congrats, Jen. Thanks for letting us know how you are doing and giving others hope. Please post again in a couple of months. Eventually, you should be back to normal. Best of luck.

BTW, what antibiotic did you take for strep?

Thanks Bobbie! Zithromax

Jen,
I, too, was able to take Zithromax twice for pneumonia without another bout of C. diff. My niece, however, developed C. diff. after taking it. It's main advantage is you only take for four or five days but it stays in your body longer. Congrats again!
