How long did you continue to have abdominal pain after taking antibiotics to treat the c diff? I actually don't have much diarrhea. We usually catch my relapses immediately. But despite treating with antibiotics, the abdominal pain lingers. It's a dull achey pain that persists usually for a few weeks while im on antibiotics.
The diarrhea usually resolves quickly, just the pain remains.

"We usually catch my relapses immediately. "
Are you sure your not overtreating?
Tests are almost useless to identify a relapse and early recover can seem like your relapsing.
Liquid D 3 x a day for 3 days or D that gets worse very quickly indicates a relapse but anything else (including a positive test to see if its gone) can be normal recovery.

Re: How long til abdominal pain goes away?
I think its really important to know if it's really a relapse. The only way I knew was at least 2-3 weeks after I finished medication. I also did not have alot of D with CDIFF. I continued having Post IBS...and 3 years later I still have on and off. I did have abdominal pain during CDIFF treatment(10 months) and Post CDIFF. I did have testing done to rule anything else out which is something you may consider. My abdominal pain still comes with on and off IBS. I still watch what I eat, its taken a long time to heal.
