    Been going through the same experience since Dec. 2nd....currently starting my third round of Vanco for the recurring c-diff. I too read about fecal transplant, brought it up to GI doc and he thought I'd have better results with Vanco. Thanks to you I will try to find a doctor to go ahead with the transplant.
    Thank you so much for sharing your experience...I never thought an old man would ever so closely identify with a young woman because of pain and anguish.

I have gained all 55 lbs back and am healthy and active and eating right and off medicine and normal and HAPPY. If I have to ability to encourage and give anyone hope during their time of turmoil do let me know because it's a hellish disease and nobody needs to go through it alone. I remember terrible year like it was yesterday and I want to help anyone escape from that anyway I can.

  • @Hizer123

    I have had almost the exact same story, not even kidding.
    About 1.5 years ago, I started having lots of diarrhoea soon after an antibiotic treatment. One year ago, I got diagnosed with a mild form of UC/Crohns (they weren't sure which one it was) after having had a colonoscopy. I started getting budesonide (entocort) to treat it, but I would still have diarrhoea/constipation and severe stool urgency (tenesmus) with unbearable pain/ lower stomach cramps on a daily basis. The painful cramps still wake me up every morning. I was so confused, because I had these severe symptoms despite my illness being mild. This basically continued until last weekend, where the diarrhoea and pains got so bad that I had to be admitted to the hospital. A few days ago my doctor told me that I had tested positive for cdiff and now they are wondering whether I had cdiff all along instead of Crohns/UC after having done a colonoscopy on me last tuesday. I have now been put on budesonide again together with vancomycin. On day 4 of vancomysin currently and I so hope that this will cure the unbearable pain.

    I understand what you mean by you never think it will happen to you. I felt healthy Friday August 12th. I had abdominal pain August 14th. I was under the knife August 16th. My sigmoid colon ruptured. I had 13 inches removed and ended up with a colostomy. Thankfully it will be reveresed.
    Why? Apparently I had colitis/diverticulitis with no regular symptoms. After leaving the hospital with a colostomy and an eight inch scar I got c-diff. Now 2 months out I am still trying to come to terms with all of this.

She is 77 lbs on vancomycin .. and nothing for pain still cant eat and so weak but they wont put her in hospital which i am glad..

I too am seeking a herbalist medicine.. Your story and what you went thru and still going thru makes me mad and sad.. mad at the medical professionals because they would not listen.. she was diagnosed with crohns last year.. but no one tested her stool. I am going to send her your video ... because she feels so alone I take care of her and fight for her because she in unable too.. Thank you , I hope you turn things around and feel better .. I will keep you in my prayers along with my daughter Summer

There's a follow up video to this one where I didn't have cdiff anymore but still hadn't recovered from colitis or gained weight.. BUT today I've gained my weight and truly, last year seems like a lifetime ago and I can finally take my health for granted again and don't have to think about what I eat or pain or anything! There is hope!

    Crohns Disease. Remicade for 16 years. Remission for 16 years. Strep throat treated with Amoxicillin caused C Diff to flourish. Just finished the 2wks of Vancomycin. Still looking at strange damage from the Remicade to the thyroid. Not going back on it. Possibly moving to Stellara because it works differently from Remicade and Humira. New doctor said if I had gotten the last recommended dose of Remicade, with as colonized my colon was with C Diff, it might have killed me. Glad I listened to my body and pulled the plug myself.

    Thanks for posting this. I'm on my second round of C-diff right now after my first round 5 years ago. After my first round of C-diff 5 years ago, i have had 1 to 2 Ulcerative Colitis flares per year, each one landing me in the hospital. The constant pain, the discomfort, the living in the bathroom, I understand all of it. I also got the same BS from my doctor... "Diet has NOTHING to do with it." Such bullshit. There is definitely a lack of good gut bacteria and an imbalance. Only thing that I found that helps me is buying super expensive Probiotics and selling my left testicle to afford them. Thanks for sharing your experience. CDIFF and UC definitely sucks some major balls. BTW, I've been to some shitty hospitals with similar experiences and lack of treatment to you, and I've experienced that level of pain where you just wish you could end it, maybe jump out your hospital window if you could open it... but I have NEVER heard of a hospital as shitty as that one. I would have lost it. They thought I was there just for the drugs and the pain meds too. They thought i was trying to abuse my morphine. It's just like... "Bitch! Morphine isn't THAT good that I would want to be here stuck in the hospital just to have it.

      I am so mad, why they give me medication to create c-diff, and now they say probiotics pill is not help... I am taking Metronidazole.

    Hi Madeline, thanks for your story. I had a similar experience with the hospital and doctors when being treated for Crohns Colitis. So frustrating. They put me 60mg of prednisone for 2 months and then on Remicade and Imuran possibly for life. Anyway, this was 2 years ago. I only really started feeling better after switching to a whole food plant based diet a year and a half ago. I now eat over 50 grams of fiber a day, something I was told not to do. I stopped taking the Imuran the day I started the new diet. I had my last remicade infusion 4 weeks ago but plan to go drug free from here. What kind of diet are you following? Animal products were a killer for me. Eggs, meat, dairy, all of it.

    Your story sounds similar to mine. I was diagnosed with Crohn's in November of 2016 and my terrible symptoms started August 2016. Constant trips to the bathroom and severe stomach pain. I took multiple different antibiotics for multiple infections which left my stomach weak and my gut suseptible to infection from c diff. I'm still on antibiotics. I started treatment back in January/February when I feel like I had c diff for 5 months before my diagnosis. It's now June 2017 and I'm still sick.. On a Vancomycin taper which isn't doing much for me. The diahrea had stopped but the other symptoms are lingering. FMT should be in my future I hope!!

    I hope you are doing better.
    Its crazy because my story is pretty much similar to yours. I don't like to put my business out there but maybe my story can also help someone. I was diagnosed with stage 4 anal cancer in 2015. I went through chemo and radiation treatments. I had no surgery.
    After treatment I felt horrible had bad diarrhea which I just thought was normal from treatments.
    In June of 2016 I could not take it anymore I was so sick with the diarrhea and horrible cramping I went to see GI. They told me it was caused by radiation which I knew was bs because my radiation was pin pointed and my pain was not in the area where my pain was.
    In July I started vomiting along with all the other symptoms and I was so weak I could not stand. I could not eat or drink. I went to the ER. I was admitted with severe dehydration . they did a ct scan and told me my scans looked better than the ones I had after treatment . they said I had a little bit of colitis going on but I probably had the flu. I stayed in hospital 6 days and was sent home.
    My symptoms got worse and I had lost about 30 pounds since December. The pain was excruciating !! I went back to er and they admired me again. They did another ct and it was worse than the last. Thank god for the pain meds because they took the pain away the pain was the worst part of my symptoms. The did all kinds of tests then told me I had C-Diff.
    I stayed in hospital and was treated with vanco and hydrated. I started feeling a little better but 2 weeks after I was off antibiotics everything started up again. I went to GI and she told me if c diff came back they were going to send me to infectious disease for a fecal transplant.
    The infectious disease told me to eat yogurt and I'd be cured. I ended up in hospital 4 more times .the last stay I was in ICU because my blood pressure was 70/ 46.
    My GI dr did not do a dam thing to help me. I found a new family dr and he got the ball rolling. I was pretty much dying. By this time I had lost 80 pounds. I could not eat , the pain even on a patch and 20 mg of oxycodone was so bad . it would take hours of writing to tell you everything I went through. Anyway I had a upper GI and a sygmoid and they found a stricture that was 1 cm so I was basically pooping through an opening the size of a straw. I was finally sent to a specialist in st Louis to talk about transplant because my surgeon did not want to do surgery until I had transplant because I just got over another round of c diff which I treated my self at home for because I did not want to be back in hospital. Anyway the infectious disease dr told me with the stricture I had there was no way I could have the transplant that surgery needed to be done asap before my colon ruptured. Told me to take 1 vanco everyday and after surgery we would proceed with transplant.
    I had surgery 6 weeks ago and have a ileostomy. I'm hoping I will be able to have a reversal in 5 months we will see.
    Also during surgery the surgeon had to tear the stricture off my uturous.
    My story is so much like yours. Crappy hospital stays and my GI dr did nothing.
    When you talk about the pain I relate. I relate to this video so much and am balling my eyes out watching it because I was in same place. thank you for making it. You are going to help so many people. I hope things are better for you. My surgery saved my life and for the first time in over a year I'm not hurting. I still have to deal with the c diff issues that caused all this shit but because everything I have been through I'm advocating for myself and not letting these heartless fucking drs ignore me again or make me feel crazy.

      I think I have mild-moderate c-diff from Cipro 500 twice day.for 2 weeks and 3 days ago I added 60mg prednisone taking to 40mg and then follow up with Derm. (for a biofilm infection from dermal fillercalled Voluma on face) I started Sachy B by Biotics yesterday at work. (I work at 6 provider clinic & the 6th is me, I’m a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach & Lifestyle and Wellness Educator.
      Did some reading & they mentioned you need Flagyl or vancomycin. I had a few doses of Flagyl so I took 1 Gm last night. Still have gurgly but pain is much better. It’s the middle the night and I’ve had 2 bowel movements. I knew I have the beginning of the C-Diff. The fecal trans plant is the way I want to go. I have autoimmune disease and do not have the best immune system. I do a lot of functional medicine treatments which of worked until I got the biofilm infection on my face. I’m not having the pain as bad as before or any blood that I can see. But I really can’t function, I am probably in the bathroom 15-20 times a day. Number could go up or down a little. I don’t want to go to the ER because if they don’t admit you they charge a lot. Even if they admit you they charge a lot. There is a hospital I have where are you at work if you are a single mom they will waive any or some of the costs. If I get worse I will go there. The Flagyl and probiotic specific for C-Diff Sachy B, seems to be helping. But I’m up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep. Where you distended? I’m thin and now I have this bad distention.

I'm just scared to take meds because I've never been the type to like taking pills for any reason ..now I'm on 4 pills a day and they are 1.2 grams each that's way more than the delzicol ..plus my doctor prescribed me for apriso but the pharmacy gave me lialda ? is that a normal way they do things ? sorry I have a lot of questions but Dr's aren't telling me and my only recourse is the web ..sad ik ..any help would be appreciated :-)

    • @madelineblais
      @madelineblais  8 років тому

      Getting a different medicine than prescribed is definitely not normal? I wanted off lialda because it wasn't working, and the side effects weren't great... And then also my insurance stopped covering it so it was really a no brainer. That was all when I had mild colitis though. Once I got c diff (and then got rid of c diff finally) I was left with extremely severe colitis, which is where I'm at now. I have 20+ daily bowel movements, I have fevers of 102 about 3 times a day. I don't sleep a wink, am constantly sweating, have stomach pain, and apparently am extremely malnourished and still cannot gain any weight because my digestive system doesn't absorb anything. You say you're severe but those medicine are for mild/moderate.. Which is awesome! I'm jealous.. What are your systems

I'm slowly gaining weight back but still very under weight ...side effects from prednisone sucks ...insomnia and memory issues ...sometimes I just don't feel like getting out of bed ..but then its like I'm bouncing off the walls ...also they have me on iron pills ..got a few questions about those...think there turning my bm black ..so I cant tell if its blood or just the iron pills .....sorry I'm jumping back in forth ...I just have no body to ever talk to about this stuff ...sometimes I think people think I'm making it up and it really sucks

      The iron is definitely making your BMs black. Try the angstroms liquid iron with vitamin c.. It gets absorbed 100% unlike pills and it doesn't mess with digestion at all (completely bypasses it)!
      If lialda and 20mg of prednisone is t working I would try a biologic honestly. I'm on entyvio now but your insurance will start you with either remicade or humira. Making these videos has connected me with great knowledgable people so I really suggest making your own if you're interested in meeting other colitis people (which REALLY helps to be able to talk to someone that understands this hellish disease)

    what is the out of pocket cost for fecal transplant?

    • @hubbasgirl8956
      @hubbasgirl8956 8 років тому

      Hello. I have Tricare insurqnce. My first one did not cost any out of pocket. Had already met my deductable. My second one was $900 out of pocket. Mine was done at Indiana University using stool from Openbiome. Some people have said I was overcharged. ($10,000) per transplant. If you use your own donor, all the testing is not covered by most insurances and costs around $1,200.

    I am sooooo sorry you went through this! I have been through the same thing minus UC. As soon as you said glass in your colon, I knew you still had c diff. I went through it for 10 months last year. Hospitalized 7 times for 60 days. I was told I was faking it, that I was depressed yadda yadda. I finally had 2 stool transplants. I have been left with chronic diarrhea and constant pain. Drs do not acknowledge false negative tests or the fact that vanco and flagyl with cause a neg result. Could you email me so we could talk more? Hubbasgirl@aol.com

      Wow I'm sorry to hear two FMTs failed you.. Were they done by a doctor in a colonoscopy? My FMT was torture to go through but after that I've been free of cdiff since! Mind you now I'm dealing with extremely severe UC that's given me nearly similar symptoms except for the severity of the stomach pain.

      How are you doing now? I really hope that a little bit better. What do you use to manage the UC? I have some ideas and suggestions that might maybe alleviate your pain. Reply if you still read your comments. Stay strong!

    Sorry I didn't watch the video but for treating c diff seriously look into fecal transplants. Really high success rate.

      Well if you did watch the video you would know that she had that done.
      But, your comment will still help others who don't have the time/patience to watch this video. (you should watch this entire video)
