@judy75 I already had IBS-D ; then five or more antibiotics for UTI in as many months which caused C.Diff. In my case and I thought all cases, symptoms of CDiff include profuse diarrhea. When I started weeks of Vancomycin I was told not to use my anti-diarrhea meds, so you can imagine what I went through (as many others) and the constant thin diarrhea let to a painful behind! But as you have other bowel issues that I didn't have, am not sure if not going to bathroom is OK for you , but my thought is if you are eating, then where is that processed food going .... maybe someone here with more knowledge would know but I would keep count of the days you have not had a bowel movement..... hope you are better soon.

Thank you for the wishes to get better! I was on antibiotics for my bout of diverticulitis in late Feb which led to the c-dif (I also had c-dif back in 2019). Basically what I started experiencing was just a lot of needing to use the bathroom during the day - a lot of soft, but for the most part, formed stool. My gastro sent me to another for a second opinion and that gastro did a test for c-dif which came back positive. Just a vicious circle of things.
