Question for those recovered for more than a year

[CML]

Ok so last Vanco pill was March 2022. Took a long time to get somewhat back to “normal” after C diff. But now it seems like I go to bathroom probably 3 times a day and sometimes the last time will be D. I overall feel really good, no stomach issues except for this. Would like to know if there are others in same boat or if this really is not normal.

Everyone is different, but from reading posts for many years now, it seems that there is a "new normal" after c diff and treatment for it. Sometimes this takes a long time. It is not unusual from what I have read here, but you should check with your doctor. Your intestines have been through a lot and recovery and healing does take a while. My doctor told me a year at least. But, there are some who recover faster and others who take longer.

Thanks. I definitely have a faster transit time and since CDiff I have had so much anxiety over digestive issues that it has only made it worse. This has been a very stressful year overall, lost my mom a few months ago and that is also contributing to my stress/anxiety which in turn upsets my digestive system.

I agree with Beth 110%! It took me a very long time and I did get to a new normal. Then 5 years later....got CDIFF again after antibiotics and started the process again.

It has taken my gut a long time to recover
