I'm living proof. I think the vanco hurt my system more than the c difficile.

Definitely agreeing on that!! Months of Vanco also left me with more and more food intolerances.

I would have most likely skipped the whole C. diff infection if the genius who gave me “prophylactic” vanco would have given a crap and treated me appropriately.

The new C. diff antibiotic (Ridinilazole) looks really promising, it out performed vanco and was equal to Dificid in sustained clinical response.

Interesting, there are so many on the site who have Post Vanco problems. It's great to hear about a new drug, interesting conference!
