Trish is a retired Certified Public Accountant. She acquired C. diff from a public place after her early retirement. After years of recurrent C. diff infections treated with only antibiotics, she searched and found Vowst and FMT treatments. She has since received one FMT and two Vowst treatments. With attention to diet and nutrition, she is now back to her normal weight. Her C. diff journey includes continuing to reclaim her mental wellness by being an advocate for the Peggy Lillis Foundation and spending time with her husband and family.
