Is it the vanco?

Postby YourCake » Sun Nov 11, 2018 1:23 pm

My stools come out solid but looks like it is dissolving in the water losing its form partially. Is it the vancomycin in the stool?

No.
It's normal.
Did you have watery D before you were prescribed vanco?

Hi, this was exactly the case with me when I took Vanco. Even during my taper periods taking only one pill every other day.
I do not know why, but have heard others describe this too.

Vanco made my stools looser too.
