Your body never recovers, ever, that I have been told. What happens the C-diff lays dormant in your system until another bacteria comes around that it wants to come out and play with per-say. I had C-diff for almost a year. It was the worst year of my life all the way around. It came back when I had to have stitches over my eye from a fall. I have falls like they are going out of style. I was given Keflex and that is one antibiotic that brings C-diff back out of its hole. Put that ion the list. Good luck everyone!!
