Right treatment: You are on the right medication to treat your c diff infection. You should feel better within 1 week of starting the treatment. If you are still losing blood in your stool after 1 week, consult with your doctor. Keep yourself well hydrated and eat bland foods that have low residue (low fiber) during the illness. Be well.
