What are the dietary restrictions once a C-diff infection has been healed? Can certain foods actually cause C-diff to relapse? I am currently recovering from my second bout of C-diff in 30 days.

Hi- I am recovering from my 4th episode of C-diff in 18 months. My Infectious Disease Doctor told me eat a High Fiber diet, avoid greasy and spicy foods that would irritate the Intestional Tract. Basically, eat a Healthy Diet. Avoid Antibiotics if at all possible. Take a Daily Probiotic.

I guess I haven't done such a good job of following all this-but I honestly have tried. My Infectious Disease Doc did tell me the more times you have C-diff , the more likely you are to get it again. I'm sure I don't need to tell you-try to avoid this terrible disease at all costs if possible!
Best of luck to you!!
