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

I am finishing up my 2nd round of meds for c diff. I am on my last week of 14 day, then a taper. I am terrified that once my vancomycin is completed it will come back again. My dr said it could take 5/6 months before back to feeling normal. What if you need to take antibiotics again.

I really hope this will be end of story for you. Yes in fact It does take a long time even sometime longer than 6 months. I am 10 months into recovery and still have lots of lingering symptoms. In fact they repeated the c Diff test for me couple days ago and haven’t heard back so I will take that as good news. Sometimes you can develop post inf IBS and this can take time and I think this is what I developed. What are you taking with your antibiotic? Keep us posted and wishing you a speedy recovery.
