Thanks mhi. See my reply to dily69 where I explain they improved toward end of this last course of vanco t full dose, then went back to very loose, then improved at beginning of taper, but now back to very loose in the middle of taper and w pulse. Frustrating and a roller coaster, as stools appear to be the only guage for whether you’re getting better, at least that I know of.

I think getting some strength back is also a sign.plus stopping weight loss, l dropped 35lbs., and haven't gained anything back.

Hope you will get better after Vancomycin. You won’t know until you are done the antibiotic. My stool is still loose now formed but loose and looser at times even 5 months after finishing antibiotic and testing negative for c Diff toxin. This will take time to regulate.
