Dear- thanks for using our service, C.Difficilli is a bacteria that produces a lot of gas and pain in the intestines. It can last 2-3weeks after you had the infections and sometimes you need to a second treatment . The colonoscopy will help to give more information of the intestinal wall and how is healing.
You should avoid food that give more bloating as broccoli,cauliflower,lettuce and carbonated drinks.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
