You could wait and see since you don’t have any other symptoms. Biocidin I heard good things about it so read more about this one. In terms of adding more to your diet it does take a long time for your gut to regulate stay away from gluten and dairy. My recovery is very slow. Still dealing with upset stomach sometimes and my bowel movements are two to three time daily and on the looser side. But I was told it will take time to regulate been 5 months for me post antibiotic and still dealing with all the fun. I am on a low FODMAP diet now because I was told you could develop IBS after cdiff so not sure will see. Good luck to you keep us posted with your progress! Wishing you all the best!

I do ok with some dairy and gluten (I think). The low FIDMOP is hard. Can’t seem to find much it recommends to eat that would help put any weight back on (I was at 96lbs and unfortunately having to carb load to get up to 101/102).
I understand that cdiff indeed does bring on ibs, but are you speaking in terms of the infection itself causing it or the food choices?
I no longer have upset stomach for the most part. Actually, I get quite hungry but can only eat so much during the day.
I’ve read up on the Biocidin but have also encountered some negative stories on it which made me apprehensive. Anything that might kill off any good bacteria is kind of risky in my opinion as it is a numbers game.
Hope you continue to improve in your healing. Have you tried slippery elm tincture to assist in healing the gut? I’ve been taking it for a bit and not sure if it’s due to this but the noises and cramping have gotten a lot better.

@5chances sorry you asked me about my weight I am still not able to gain but I am not loosing. How about your weight? Are you stable? How do you know when you add things to your diet if it is working or not? Still working with a nutritionist?
