Hello,
I am a 28 year old female and was diagnosed with C diff about a month and a half ago after about 10 days of terrible symptoms. I did 10 days on the flagyl and it did not help at all. I was then put on 10 days of vanco which did not help. I ended up seeing a GI doctor and he put me on another round of 7 day vanco. I am now 4 days off of all meds and I am no where near the 30+ BM I was at before starting any meds, but it seems like I am going more frequent than when I was on the vanco for 20 days (from about 4-6 BM a day to 7-9). I am worried about starting all over with meds and going back to the terrible symptoms but I am wondering if it is normal to still be having symptoms after the meds... I just want to be off of antibiotics and this be over. I have a call into my GI but thought I would get some opinions.
Thanks!
J

Hello and Welcome to the site Please read the first thread for all new posters
It sounds like you continue to have diarrhea and symptoms. I do hope your GI has gotten back to you. In my case things improved while on Vanco but returned when I got off it. If all of your symptoms have continued, I would ask for Dificid or a longer Taper of the Vanco.
Sorry you had to find us, hope things improve soon!
