Tender Bloated Stomach Common Symptom In Cdiff?

I have been diagnosed with cdiff after taking CIpro. Round if flagyl worked until 4 days after I finished it. Diarrhea returned . Now on Aliria and about to start vancomycin. My stomach is so tender and bloated and I really fatigued. Is that normal? Will this cdiff ever go away?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, confirmed C.diff. infection is challenge for physician it is all depends upon the immune system of patient if the patient is immunocompromised then it is bit difficult to treat the C diff, it may comes back, if this happens then it is the matter of taking chance with trying different antibiotic, or to try some newer method to kill the bacteria and for that you can discuss this with your physician, take care and wish you rapid recovery hope this information helps.
