Is this a C. difficile relapse?
So I was done talking my medication a little over a week ago and my pain went away and it didn’t hurt to eat but since yesterday I’ve had abdominal pain and this morning when I went to the bathroom there was a excessive amount of mucus in the stool. Could this be a sign that C. difficile is coming back?

Everyone is different, it does become a wait and see. If you find symptoms increasing and suddenly D continues to increase call your GI.
The one symptoms we do see with relapse is D that continues and does not go away, each time I relapsed all my symptoms came back...sometimes worse then the original time

That doesn't necessarily mean that you are relapsing , mucus is a sign of irritation and not a classic sign of a relapse. Having cramps and mucus discharges can indicate a IBS flare up . Of course , if those symptoms don't subside and you start having D along with them you should go see you doctor.
