Hope I'm done!

I've now been off of vanco for 3 1/2 months, so I guess I feel confident enough to call mine a success story, after 8 months of cdiff. What finally worked for me was pulsing. I used Lauren's protocol from the FAQ section, except that I started on 250 mg of vanco 4/day. Then at the end I added 3 cycles of 5 days off, 1 day on, and 5 cycles of 6 days off, 1 day on. The whole pulsing process took almost 4 months. In spite of lots of stress and traveling, I seem to be doing well. All fingers crossed!! No IBS, no lactose intolerance. Still have some pain, urgency, and occasional mucus and D, but nothing really bad. I am so grateful to everone here for all your help. And I wish all of you hope and healing.

That's wonderful! I'm glad you are finally free of c-diff. Hope the other symptoms decrease as well.
