C Difficile: Do you have memory issues, disoriention, confusion?

@dpete19743 I developed Cdiff after taking Clindamycin for a sinus infection. I went through 4 Cdiff episodes in 2018 before taking Dificid (fidaxamicin) which finally worked for me. Prior to that I took Vancomycin for the 2nd and 3rd bout. For the 3rd bout, I did the Vanco pulse and taper for 6 weeks. The only real side effects from the meds are now I have a ringing in my ears. (Tinnitus) And I also have terrible gas late and night and early in the morning when I first get up which I think is related to Cdiff. I also now take Florastor or a probiotic with S Boulardii which was recommended by my gastroenterologist.

I had cdiff undetected or should I say not diagnosed for 4 months. I was hospitalized after losing 28pounds and failing vancomycin. I took it after going home for 3 months and two relapses. My hi would not give me dificid. I have begun gaining weight back but always have leaking like I can’t wipe myself enough and always empty out at least four to five times a day causing rectal bleeding when I wipe. Has anyone else had these issues. I have been like this for a year and get no answers or suggestions on how to get better. I sometimes get anxiety because I am so sick of this and want to health back. I too have taken florastor

I also have severe cognitive issues since my last and worst episode in 2017 when I was septic. Can you expand on yours because I feel like I’m slipping away. Honestly.
