I was diagnosed with cdiff two weeks ago.
I have been on vancomycin 4xday and have one day left.
Meanwhile, I am very bloated and have bad grassiness and some burping.
I never had watery diarrhea, but soft frequent stools and cramping which are gone.
Is this normal and can it be from the cdif?
Is this normal? Please help

That can happen with or without c diff. Your intestines have had quite the workout between the c diff and the vanco.

Bloating and gas are very common on a irritated gut and Cdiff can really irritate your guts. If stools have started to get some consistency and the frequency has gone down , it means that you are responding well to treatment but you will definitely not get back to normal. The recovery process is long and requires time and patience. Also be careful with your food choices and the amount of probiotic you are taking , because too much probiotic can also give bloating and gas.
