Tapering question

Postby lindab » Sun Aug 14, 2016 4:34 pm

I am on my second round of Vancomycin
125x4 daily-14 days
125 X 2 daily 7 days
125 X 1 daily for 7 days
Next dosage pending Dr advice
I have an an appt in two days to see an ID DR at UCLA who does FMT's

My question is I was feeling great on the 2 a day but then when I started my 2nd day of taking only 1 daily
I have been feeling sick to my stomach. 2 BM's this morning that wretched orange color. So far no D. , but twinges of cramping.
Does this mean the spores are hatching and still active?

Haven't been nauseated in a week was hoping that symptom was gone and working on getting my strength back.
My GP is really pushing to have my diverticulitis surgery , however I can't imagine having surgery when feeling
so ill
Will keep you posted if UCLA has any new info on treatments. Was sorry to hear the SERES phase 2 had such a negative result.

Hi Lindab

You are still tapering, so most do not have "normal" bm's for awhile. Talk with the ID about it, great you are getting another opinion. With pending surgery, I would go in and explain the entire situation and your concern about the surgery etc.
Let us know how it goes, wishing you luck with the new ID!
