I had surgery 6 weeks ago was put on clindamycin for preventative purposes, 2 weeks later got cdiff, on vancomycin for 10 days, 125mg 4x/day..symptoms were better after 2nd day..having only 1 formed bowel movement a day.I finished antibiotics today
But yesterday had 2 formed bowel movements. Is this a sign cdiff is coming back? I'm also taking floradtor 2x day,500 mg total..eating yogurt..
Thank you

You mean Florastor? You case is similar to mine. I too was put on Vancomycin. I got C-diff from 10 days of Amoxicillin that the dentist gave me and I ended up in the hospital for a week. Wait and see and be sure to disinfect everything, people sometimes reinfect themselves
I was under the impression that formed stools are not a problem. My gastro doc told me one of the danger signs of recurrent c diff infection is loose stools/diarrhea (3 or more per day).
Yes..its true formed bowel movements are not a problem.
I'm just worried as my stools are beginning to be loosely formed 2 to 3 times a day after completing vanco.for 10 days.
While I was taking it my stools were more formed and only once a day.
Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions
And it's just my gut trying to heal.
I did have a good response to vanco. Idk
Just looking for some support.
Thank you all for your responses!!
