Glad you are on the road to recovery. Been 10 months for me and again still not perfect and I still take Boulardii on and off I wonder if we can continue taking boulardii in the long run. I am taking a daily probiotic as well. I hear you my diet completely changed as well and will never be the same prior to c Diff. Ar eu our bowel habits back to normal? Or you still go more than once to the washroom?

I take boulardii once a day plus a probiotic-I think more out of fear of the C Diff coming back. I do eat chicken and fish but no red meat. just lost my appetite for it,plus it was hard on my stomach during the 3 bouts of C Diff
Bowel movements are usually twice a day,if I have anxiety,it`s more. I really have to be diligent on the diet though, if I get constipated,it`s not pleasant!
With having C Diff 3 times, I got very depressed,on the second one,I was one step away from the hospital. Because of covid I didn`t go. I probably would have gotten better sooner. My first bout with C diff was treated with flagyel,I had a reaction to that and my platelets dropped to a scary level, so on top of C diff I had to deal with that.
Needless to say, it was hell!
I`m here to help in any way!!!
