Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear it is a common problem with clostridium difficale post infection diarrhea due to wipe out of the natural flora in large intestine and some extent small intestine. It may take few months to recover.

Few advice to early recovery
1 . natural antimicrobial s :Certain herbs and nutrients have the ability to kill bacteria and treat bacterial infections.for example blend of caprylic acid, quebracho tannins, berberine sulfate, garlic, and uva ursi benefited.
2.probiotics
3.avoid gluten from diet
4 . just check other bacterial infection along with diarrhea and use treatment.

Please consult your doctor if symptoms not improved.
