I think you are making good decisions. Even when the c-diff is gone, it can take a long time for the gut to stabilize. Many years later, my husband’s gut still reacts to differences in diet or challenges to his immune system because of the changes c-diff caused to his colon. Overall though, he has learned to manage it and live normally. Hang in there!

I had wondered about that mucous also. I had it and it has disappeared for the most part and I'm 4 months into recovery. After I took the Vanco they tested me again to make sure the C-diff was gone, which it was. I was hoping they did a follow-up test on you also. That, to me, would seem very important. Even though the C-diff is gone, it is a slow recovery. I'm exhausted from taking Bisacodyl every three days just so I can eliminate waste. I have always had a slow transit time due to a longer intestine and the gastro doctor wants me to continue using the Bisacodyl for now. If you are able to "go" on your own, that is wonderful. In my experience, that mucous you are seeing will disappear eventually. So patience, take care of yourself as best you can, rest when you need to, (this was a difficult one for me but so important because you are healing and I'm sure you're energy levels are not the same as before C-diff), and trust you will get better. I hope you get/had a follow-up test for C-diff. And after that, just remember this is a slow recovery. I wish someone had told me that.
