Re: Relapse
Yea, it's possible. There is no average, but most relapse within a month. If symptoms continue, I would test.

Re: Relapse
If you are having frequent D you should ask to be tested.

Re: Relapse
It started Saturday I had 4 rough bm last one was watery d then Sunday I was ok normal morning bm mon And tues same but yesterday I had a muddy one in the morning and then d (not watery) and then another d (not watery). This morning I had d (not watery). I’ve had like an upset stomach but not the cramps or urgency like when I was diagnosed. I haven’t been eating the best options lately. I’m not sure if this is a relapse or not. When I tested in the pat last time was 5 weeks ago I was sure I had it and I was negative. I also have taken a plan b pill a little over a week ago so not sure if any symptoms are from that. Thanks in advance

Re: Relapse
It can take some time to recover, food can affect recovery a great deal, the gut needs time to heal. Generally BM's can be " all over the place" early in recovery and as time passes things improve.
I go "Bland" when this occurs and it usually helps. Any medication you take can affect it. I reacted differently to typical medications I took before. For example, I took a pyridium post CDIFF and it made me sick for days, never before CDIFF.
Keep an eye on the diet and see how it goes
