I have only been treated with flagyl and vancomycin. That's interesting about your doctors take on the treatment. Reading the news stories about the high reported success rates for the treatment got me excited about it, but I should also keep in mind that the news has a tendency to sensationalize stories like this. They claim the procedure has a success rate of 90%, but that could mislead patients and dissuade them from antibiotic treatments. My appointment is just for a consultation so I just want to explore all of my options. I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Shen has me try some of those other antibiotics before he approves the procedure. I would like to hear his take on the success of the procedure. Aside from insurance concerns, it seems like if it is so effective a patient should be able to get it when a few of the possible antibiotics have failed them. This is my 5th round of antibiotics in probably the last 5 months and I am just sick of taking so many, although this is mostly because I was being treated for pouchitis when I likely had C. diff this whole time (I started noticing some of the tell tale symptoms as early as July).
