How Can Recurrent C.diff.colitis Be Treated?
I have just started a 10-day round of vancomycin for a reocurrence of C-diff (caused by an antibiotic taken for sinus infection: amoxicillin clavulanate). How long before I can expect relief from diarrhea, considering that I m also taking a probiotic (Florajen3). I m sticking to a bland diet.

You are are taking all correct medications (Vancomycin, Probiotic).
Also continue bland diet.
Also eat more curd and yogurt as they are rich in probiotics.
