Hello,
I had a failed FMT in September. I tested positive three times in spring and early summer, but I never felt well after the FMT.
How many of you are put on Vancomycin before the FMT? Is anyone put on Dificid beforehand? Finally has anyone had a successful FMT without either beforehand? This has been going on so long I am really discouraged. Thank you!

Re: Medications before FMT
It's better to take something for at least 4 or 5 days prior to FMT. Usually vancomycin is given, but I think there have been a few posters who took Dificid. I don't think it really matters. The purpose is to knock down the c difficile as much as possible in order to give the new bacteria a better chance to take hold.
