Hello all, I posted here months ago looking for information/doctor names for a fecal transplant procedure. I had exhausted all other recourses for treatment for C-Diff. The process was so new--no one was able to assist me. I did find a surgeon, and did have the procedure. So far I have tested negative for c-diff. I now have post infection irritable bowel. A couple of months after surgery, I developed small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, and was put on rifaximin for this. I still have gas,bloating, gut pain and sensitivity to pressure across my abdomen, alternating bouts of constipation/diarreah. Is there anyone out there like me? I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

Welcome to the boards,
Did you GP or GI doctor tell you about the clinically tested FODMAP approach from managing IBS symptoms? Here is a link to a dietitian's discussion of the FODMAP approach to managing IBS symptoms and another source of information on the topic. The FODMAP approach has been shown to reduce IBS symptoms 70-80% 
The FODMAPs Approach — Minimize Consumption of Fermentable Carbs to Manage Functional Gut Disorder Symptoms
Understanding FODMAPs
Also, one should remove common IBS triggers such as coffee, tea, high fat and high insoluble fiber foods. Here is a link to more information by Heather
