Frustrated it might be back

Postby ShannonS » Thu May 02, 2019 1:29 am

I finished taking the 10 days of Dificid 17 days ago. I still felt rough, well 3 days ago I started getting WD. I didn’t think anything of it, but now yesterday was day 3 of WD going about 5 times a day and I’m seeing M again. My nausea was on and off but now it’s come back full force. I can’t eat because of it and I’m losing weight. I’m feeling weak. I’m calling my GI later today to see what she says, but I’m nervous it’s back. If it is, I don’t know what’s gonna happen since I’ve been on a 14 day course of Vanco, a Vanco taper, and 10 days of Dificid.

I read an article recently of a dificid pulse being highly effective for recurrent c.diff.
The course was 2 pills a day for 5 days (10 pills total) followed by 1 pill on alternate days for 20 days (10 pills total).

Sorry you are unwell. You need to contact your doctor and let him know that you are having D . Even if you had done a Vanco taper and 10 days of Dificid there are still other treatment options. There is the Dificid taper that Roy already told you about , there is also the FMT.

Sorry Shannon

I also failed Dificid about the 3rd week after I finished the 10 days. I went on a Dificid taper.......Thankfully it worked.

Talk with your GI about it

Wishing you the best
