Hi,
I am 12 weeks past my last dose of Vanco and have continued to feel daily improvement. I am highly anxious today though after having d 2x today. I know it could be PI Ibs however I immediately go to it being C-diff coming back. I'm scared to take any anti diarrheal medication. Is 12 weeks a safe amount of time off of meds to possibly be in the clear from C-diff? I never thought I'd have the amount of fear I do after an episode of d.... It's amazing what C-diff can do to a person!

Re: 12 weeks out
Does anybody have any input as to what amount of time, if any, is considered somewhat "safe" from C-diff post meds?

Re: 12 weeks out
12 weeks is a good time out and fairly "safe"
What you need to watch out for now is future use of antibiotics.
Your gut flora has shown that its susceptible to the type of damage that allowed c.diff to overgrow so make sure future antibiotics are actually appropriate.
With average luck you have beaten it this time.

Thank you Roy for responding. I will be very cautious going forward with any antibiotics.
