Does this sound typical post vanco?

I have not taken vanco for three days now. My BM's are soft but formed. I am going 3 to 6 times per day now.

Also, how does the good flora repopulate after you kill it all with vanco?

What you describe sounds typical post-vanco. Try Gas-X for the gas; it helped me a lot. Our normal good gut flora repopulates from what we eat. That's why probiotics can be helpful.

It sounds normal from my experiences, and I agree Gas-X can be worth it's weight in gold !! Remember it will take some time to heal
