Stool consistency while on vancomycin and its significance

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!!!

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. I can imagine the horrible time you went through I had 2 bouts of it and it left me with horrible depression. 10 months in now and I thought I was getting better. Nausea started again yesterday and very loose stools multiple time per day and no appetite. We have repeated the C Diff stool test and waiting to see. I am praying it is not back. It’s been 10 months and no antibiotic use nothing and been very careful with my diet. I just cannot believe c Diff can come back on it is own after 10 months 🙁 Fingers crossed
