A member asked:
I am 3 weeks post c diff infection. i am off antibiotics now. ever since i got out of the hospital, my stools thin tube shaped and orange. any advice?

Probably OK: Both Clostridium dificile and the antibiotics used to treat it can cause altered bowel habits for several weeks. As long as no diarrhea and you otherwise feel well, just give it more time. If doubt remains, or if no change after another 2-3 weeks, contact your doctor, preferably the same one who diagnosed and treated your C diff. Good luck!
