I have been fighting this severe diarrhea since he first week in June when I was in the hospital for Gall bladder surgery. This is the third antibiotic I have been on and it appears to be working. In the other cases the diarrhea returned two or 3 days after I stopped taking the medication. I am about half way through the medication but the diarrhea is gone and I hope forever!

After suffering for 6 months with CDiff, Dificid is the only med that worked. I tried Flagyl twice and Vacomycin. My GYN prescribed Dificid. My copay was a bit expensive it was more than Vanco. But it worked. Glad my GYN was up on her med info. Each day I am feeling better.
