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

Thank you very much for your reply. Your words comforted me. I really wish they would explain the healing process more to patients. It’s not right. My stomach was angry last night after some chicken and rice. It was very bizarre. My pcp wanted to see me today. She ordered another cdiff test along with other tests on the stools as well. I won’t be able to do those until Monday though because of the weekend. She put in a referral for me to see a GI and a therapist. So hopefully I will find out what’s going on. I hope it’s just PI-IBS.

I'm happy to hear you're going to have another C-diff test. It will bring some answers and hopefully a bit more peace of mind. I would love to know what they tell you. Ask as many questions as you can. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best. I hope you get through the weekend more comfortably.

That’s great to hear that you will be repeating the c Diff test it is important to rule it out and make sure it’s gone. I developed a PI-IBS although I am feeling better but nowhere near normal prior to C Diff and I am 10 months into recovery. It does take a long time. I still take probiotic and too afraid to stop. Hang in there and listen to your body. It will take a long time to know what bothers your stomach. I went through a lot of scares thinking c Diff is back but thank God no. I am too afraid That I will get sick and need antibiotic I wonder if having c Diff before put us at high risk everytime we take antibiotic and I read as well that you develop antibodies for it and chances of getting it again is low once you are healed…. Who knows. It is a nightmare and I don’t wish it on anyone in this world. Please keep us posted on the results. All the best to you.
