Vanco, probiotics and constipation

Postby heatherc » Wed Sep 13, 2017 9:33 am

I'm on my 3rd go around with C Diff since June. Got it from anabiotic's from a tooth infection. Tested positive again for C Diff on Monday. Was put on 250 mg vanco 4x a day I also take probiotics. Was using the bathroom anywhere from 15 20 x a day now all of a sudden starting yesterday at 11am I haven't been to the bathroom once. Has anyone else experienced this while having an active C Diff infection Thank you in advance

Hello and welcome to the site. Please read the first forum for more information for new posters.

Yes, others have described not having bms when starting treatment. If you were going that many times per day, your intestines are pretty well emptied out. It takes a few days sometimes to start having bms again, just like after a laxative prep for a colonoscopy. If you start getting a lot of pain or distention, fever, or other symptoms, then call the doctor.
