Trying to recover from a c. diff infection (Clostridium difficile)

I have recovered from C-diff. Your mention of spores scares me to death. I was given Vanco to fight the C-diff and then later tested (blood draw) to see if it got rid of the infection. I was told it did. Do I need to worry about spores? Or would my blood test reveal if there were any or not? I still have not had a normal BM on my own since this happened. Feb.2021, with 8 weeks of slow recovery. I'm feeling much better now but have to drink a Miralax solution, use psyllium in my oatmeal, eat fiber crackers, etc. Will my body resume normal function someday after this C-diff infection?

C Diff Spores can be shed in the house. I used bleach to clean my toilet and floors. About a slow recovery I too had a very very slow recovery 10 months later yes I am getting better now but nowhere near my normal. I don’t have the same bowel movements as before c Diff anything I eat now affect my digestive system. Although I eat very healthy diet lots of fiber fruits and vegetables. How are your bowel movements now? Formed? Do you go multiple times/day?
