After your vanc treatment ,did you have a stool culture done to be sure the c.diff was gone ?

It sounds like you have ulcerative colitis, if you do you should ask your GI doctor to put you on Asacol 800 mg tablets, it's a great drug and it works for me. It is expensive but if you have a drug plan your GI doctor can write it so it will be affordable. If you don't have a drug plan then you can use Delzicol which is the same drug but at a lower strength. See which one will help you.
Don't be afraid to eat, obviously you must eat to be healthy. Colitis is a annoying disease but can be under control with the right medication and diet.
I also take fiber tablets,and don't eat spicy foods or a lot of dairy products , a little milk in cereal Is ok , but you must test the foods yourself to see what works best for you. I hope this will be helpful.
