How long can we stay on Vancomycin and when do the BMs get better

February 24, 2010

My dad had c-diff and ended up being on 3 bouts of antibiotics. They

kept prescribing only 5-10 days of antibiotics and it wasn;t until they

gave him a script for 14 days that he finally kicked it. Are you doing

things like yogurt, probiotics to support the gut? Once we started

adding those things he started getting better as well. We now have him

on those all the time now.

Can anyone who has had their kiddo on Vancomycin for long periods of time

please share your experiences.

It seems we can't resolve the horrible bowel movements while on the

Vanco however it is the only thing that seems to control the Clostridia

and brings huge improvements. Any idea how long it is safe to be on?

What's the longest time anyone has kept their kids on it and how long

did it take before the bowel movements return to somewhat normal. All

I can say is the combination of the Valtrex and Vanco is doing wonders

for us with the only exception of the bad bowel movements.

I have never used Vanco. For bad bacteria problems, I used OLE and sometimes

OoO.

Both Valtrex and Vanco will tend to increase yeast. For three of my kids and

myself, yeast was usually constipating. For one of my kids, yeast caused

diarrhea. Try increasing the yeast protocol, see if that helps.
