in long term care. And one colleague of mine took it for his
mystery GI problem for 10 days. He did not say it was "brutal" at all.(and it didn't help him)
Here is the FDA reports on it from PatientsVille site:

I can see they are trying it for C.difficile....there is an
epidemic of this in hospitals now. So the need is great to get
something to help.
I'd say to give it a try. The reports on PatientsVille are rather mixed, and I don't think any "trend" shows. When patients are so sick like that all kinds of other stuff happens too. There are not many reports, there IMO.
Vanco can be absorbed --up to 10% of the dose-- and I think that is how it causes the PN.
Xifaxan has 3% or less.
From my understanding C.difficile is always there. Sometimes in very small amounts, and may rise up if other bacteria in the colon cannot contain its growth.
If your immune system is not working well, then it may rear up again.
