Taking antibiotics after a long bout of C Diff

I had C Diff from March of 2025 to October of 2025. It was awful. It required a full 23 weeks of antibiotics (vanco and eventually dificid) to finally get rid of it. I’m now stuck with PI-IBS that makes eating most things difficult. Fast forward to today and I somehow have bad mastitis. I’ve seen a specialist and I definitely need antibiotics (dicloxacillin) and my infectious disease doc has also put me on Vanco to prevent a recurrence of C Diff. I’m absolutely terrified. I really don’t want C Diff again. Has anyone taken antibiotics post-C Diff and remained unscathed?
