I started Flagyl for c diff last Monday. Finally over the weekend I had ZERO trips to the bathroom!! What a thrill (who would've thought that would be a thrill!) I even went outside for a walk!! But this morning I had that familiar "Uh-oh". (This is the graphic part--sorry) The first tiny bit was really loose yuck and the rest was more formed, very very very soft but more formed. Does this mean the medicine is not working?? Should I be alarmed? I am trying to have faith in the Flagyl but with all I have read it is hard!!
I appreciate any help!

When I was being treated for Cdiff - I would have good days and bad. Looking back I attribute the bad days to something I ate and/or stress. Some days are just bad. I would finish your medication and go from there. After only being on this site for a month or two - it is very surprising how different each case really is..
Are you taking probiotics?

I also forgot to mention that the sense of ugency may not go away for a while either. Sometimes I feel urgent, then nothing but a normal poop.
We all hate this.
Someone once welcomed me into the "Club no one wants to join" - its very fitting.
Hang in there, you are not alone and you will get better.

As long as you are not having watery an frequent diarrhea I would not get too concerned. It's normal to have good days and bad. "Soft serve" like stools and loose stools are common and so is urgency during and after treatment. Of course if it does take a turn for the worse you will need to get a hold of the Dr..
Try not to get discouraged as most people really do get cured w/ one or two rounds of meds.. It's only some of us unlucky ones who take a lot longer. Hopefully, you'll be in the lucky percentile!
