Hi Ghk
Welcome to the site , please read the first thread for rules of posting.
Sorry you are dealinmg with Cdiff.I never heard of anyone to relapse on Dificid. I have never taken Dificid but i read posts about it and it seems that it is not so easy on your system. Many complained about it's side effects . The Dificid followed by an FMT has the highest cure rate , so if your doctor wants to do it , go for it , but don't know what to say about mixing the stool of two donors.If i were you i would only use my daughter , two donors might give you bad IBS flares after FMT.

I agree with Georgina. I would only use one donor and according to some doctors who have done them, like Dr. Louie in Canada, a blood donor usually is better in the sense of less IBS afterwards. I can tell you from my own experience that when I used my husband, I had terrible IBS afterwards. With my daughter, that was not the case. Talk to your doctor and see what he or she thinks about it, but that has been my own experience.
