Your Story: I developed c diff colitis in July 2012 following clindamycin for a root canal. The first time I was in the hospital for 8 days. I had recurrent c diff after that until I finally had a fecal transplant. My husband was going to be my donor but he tested positive for c diff as well. My mother ended up being my donor and I’ve been c diff free ever since.

Comment: I have beaten two rounds of c diff! While this was going on, I still managed to work on my college degree, make deans list, and help others. God put it on my heart to say this: when you put your mind to it, you can beat this!

Every day is a new opportunity and miracles happen every day!
