Thank you to all of the people in this forum who have been so kind and supportive. Today marks a personal success for me. I went jogging on my old, and quite beautiful, route for the first time in many months.
I contracted cdiff after surgery and antibiotic (clindamycin) use in January of this year. I was sick for two and a half months. Metronidazole, vanco, and difficid had all failed even after multiple rounds with lots of probiotics used as well. In March I had an FMT and that seems to have worked. I had some post infectious IBS for a while, but that is mostly gone now. Things are much better and I feel more like my old self.
I'm posting this not only to say thank you to this fantastic group, but also because reading the success stories here gave me hope when I really needed it.
Best of luck to all who are still battling this terrible disease.
Thank You
