Thank you for the quick responses!

I woke up 2 hours ago and have already had to rush to the bathroom 2 x besides already going first thing (this one wasn't watery). So 3 times in 2 hours :(
I thought it had gotten better because I went an entire day without having any issue.

Roy & Georgina-

Thanks for the info on Flagyl. I didn't know it messed with the good flora too. DEFINITELY want to stay away from that! And Georgina, thanks for the info on taking too much probiotic! I took a double dose yesterday thinking I needed to pump my body full to help with speedier recovery! Perhaps that is my issue from yesterday and today, although, if I remember correctly, the urgency was before I took my probiotic and I haven't taken one yet today.
I appreciate my dr.'s concern for my wallet, that's why he recommended vanco instead of dificid taper, but I told him I didn't care as I had reached my deductible/out of pocket.

Roy,
I have had watery d 2x already today. Perhaps from the double dose probiotics yesterday?? I appreciate the recommendation of waiting 10 days to test before starting another round of antibiotics. I had been thinking of calling him to test now because I just want to get this over with! But if it takes 10 days after meds for everything to clear out, then I'll wait. I think I'll also have him go ahead and do a GI test if I need to be retested just to see if there's anything else going on while he's at it.
40 days of d, vanco and dificid and still going......UUUGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
