Question if anyone has had this 3 times and been cured without FMT
I was just curious if anyone on here has had 3 occuranxes like myself and been cured after vanco? FMTs kinda freak me out a bit so I’m hoping the vanco taper does the trick.. but I’m curious how many people have had success without it after so many times

I did not have different occurrences, I had 5 relapses during the year I had CDIFF, at the time in 2014-2015 the FDA put restrictions on FMT's and I had to wait 4 months to see a GI who would do one.
I was on a Dificid taper when I finally saw him, completed the taper and did not need the FMT. If I were to get this again, I would go directly to a Dificid taper. The 3 month Vanco taper I was on did not work for me.
Hope you feel better soon

I asked for dificid and had him fill out the paperwork that Merck said I qualified for and never received anything.. I got worse over the weekend trying to wait so I ended up on the vanco.. than you.. hope it works
