Post FMT Follow up
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2018 10:12 pm
I have my post FMT follow up appointment with my GI in 3 days. I’m 2 days away from 4 weeks since my FMT. I’ve did pretty well so far. Last week was great! Energy levels were high, I just felt healthy over all! Saturday night the fatigue hit me like a brick wall. I’m still feeling weak and just unwell. I don’t think it’s a relapse. My BM’s have been really good. Going 1-2 times per day. No D. Honestly, I went more than that before cdiff. Hopefully this is just recovery related symptoms.
I have all confidence that I am through with cdiff and am on the road to recovery. However, I would like to discuss a game plan with my GI regarding our course of action if the cdiff infection were to return in the next few weeks. So far he has been very open to my thoughts and suggestions. I know many of you on here have had a second FMT. I would love to hear some common treatment plans when a second FMT is necessary. Personally, I’ve thought maybe a standard course of Dificid leading up to another FMT via colonoscopy followed by another FMT via enema the next day. What do you all think?
Again, I feel confident that this won’t be necessary, but I also want to be prepared. You just never know...
