5 weeks out and I"m positive. I really felt great afterwards, and still better than I was prior, but getting worse each day.
They are going to try to schedule me for next week. Things botched up the first time with rescheduling, so I wasn't on the Difficid for the two days prior.
I have a UTI, I normally take Flagal with antibiotics for UTI's and helps to a degree. My concern is how many days is normal/good to be off antibiotics for an infection before an FMT and has others used Flagal till 2 days prior? I can't take Vanco
Really thought I had it beat, couldn't believe how soon I felt fantastic.
1st FMT failed Flagal before FMT?

Re: 1st FMT failed Flagal before FMT?
You "normally" take flagyl and another antibiotic for UTIs? If you have frequent UTIs I recommend seeing an infectious diseases specialist or a urologist. You could have a urethral stricture or something else going on. Sorry you relapsed after FMT. I think they usually like doing the FMT 2 or 3 days after finishing C diff meds.

Woman are more prone to UTI's especially with C-Diff if you can't run fast enough to the restroom. The flagal has helped, but never cured the C-Diff, it just helped it from getting more severe.
I postponed treatment for the uti, since it was to close to the FMT and didn't want antibiotics for a month after, to long of a battle for me with the C-Diff
I know people take Vanco prior, wondering if anyone took Flagal till 2 days prior and had a successful FMT. Won't have time to do the Difficid switch prior to the FMT

So sorry your going thro this. I would worry flagy isn't strong enough. Do you have time to get any difcid in?

I was never placed on Difficid with antibiotics only flagal, this brain fog, arghh. Now that you mention it, I think Difficid is the way to go. I know we aren't supposed to give medical advice. The problem is Doctors don't know much and are learning from us.
