Did you recover from the C Diff infection from 2019 and now have problems again or have you been suffering this whole time? Have you been re-tested? My infection was from July 2024. It took about 3 months (after treatment) for my guts to feel close to normal again. I was told by one gastro doc that the C Diff toxin destroys the thin lining of your intestines, which he said was the cause of Post Infectious IBS (diarrhea immediately after eating). Low FODMAP Diet (temporary) and high potency probiotics (Visbiome 112.5 Billion and Florastor) helped me get back to “normal”. It’s now been 8 months recovery for me and I feel I am 90% normal, although I am now very sensitive to more foods than I was before this infection.

You mentioned Citrus County. If you are in Florida I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shepard in Tampa. His number is 813-280-7111. I had to travel to see him initially, but follow-up appointments have been by video/phone call.

Also, check out Dr. Sabine Hazan’s book “Let’s Talk Sh!t” and maybe become a participant in one of her research projects (expensive) at progenabiome.com. Also check out CDiff.org (Peggy Lillis Foundation).

I hope you can find some comfort and relief soon.
