Reply to "Something Besides Pouchitis?"

From what I have read it seems like most cases of C. diff can be cured through antibiotics, but it also seems fairly common for C. diff to keep coming back again and again until a course of antibiotics finally gets it all. I may be jumping the gun on the fecal transplant, but like I said in my previous post I just took the bar exam and have the next 2 months off while I wait for my results so this would be a much better time to explore that option because once I start working at a firm I'm not going to be able to take time off and I would hate to keep battling this while I am swamped with stress and work. I'm sure Dr. Shen will thoroughly analyze my situation in our consult before deciding to go forward with the procedure. In terms of the cost, I read somewhere that if insurance doesn't cover the procedure, it's around $2,000, although with the expense of all of my medications that doesn't seem like a lot in comparison. I will report back after my meeting on Tuesday to let you know how it went and what they decided to do.
