Post infection IBS? Any advice?
So I (26F) had first C.diff infection in march 2023 and second at the end of march2026 I was on Vancomycin for 14 days every 6 hours. I finished Vancomycin over a month ago and I still have troubles with bowel movemets. Its not diarrhea most of the time but its very mushy, slymy and really frequent. I use toilet from 3 to 10 times a day and my stomach hurts alot. My doctor is not really helpfull, she said to watch my diet but its reallly tricky because Im in recovery from Anorexia. My dietitian, therapist and psychiatrist think that I dont need to change anything in my diet because they are scared that I will relapse back in my ED. Because all of this I did loose some weight and Im underweight.
Idk what to do, its hard to control bowel mowments, If im stressed or anxious I need toilet even more and sometimes I cant get to the toilet on time.... wich sucks. I plan my life around toilet and if it is close enough. I had accident over the last couple of weeks and I feel really embarresed but my doctor is not taking me seriously. I will probably need to cancel my trip with University next week because of this. Nobody takes me seriously and Idk what to do anymore. I did change my diet a bit, Im vegetarian and when I got C.diff I cutt out all dairy. The hardest of all is that Im in recovery at least I was till this all happened and Im scared that I will relapse again with anorexia. I've been struggling with Anorexia for over 10 years and this makes it all more difficult.
Do any of you had anything similar? Maybe some advice? Do I need to ask my useless doctor for a refferall to gastroenterologist? What did help you? Is this normal?
Sorry for maybe bad spelling or something english is not my language.
Is it possible that this is normal and will go away on its own?
