Throwaway account -- I had recurrant c-diff for the better part of 2 years. For a while I had accepted that I would just be taking Vancomycin for the rest of my life. Thankfully I was able to get into a study at the U of Minnesota doing transplants. The first one didn't 'stick' and the c-diff repopulated within 6 months, but after the second one I've been clear of it. Horrible stuff. Worsened my Crohn's disease by a large amount.
