This is my 3rd bout of c-dif. This time each time I took Vancomycin capsule I also took an Acidophilus capsule in order to replace the GOOD bacteria that have been wiped out with the antibiotics and it is working.

I tolerated well with just some stomach pains but I had that with C diff so I don't know and some nausea and unpleasant taste.

Started on Flagyl, it took care of it but came back. Flagyl again, worked for awhile, but c diff came back, again, and again. Vanco capsules for two weeks (very expensive and put me in donut hole with my insurance). Then
