The antibiotics that were used to kill of the C. diff may have skewed your normal bacteria quite a bit and it's possible that could be causing at least part of the problem. Get some probiotics and take them to try to offset the problem. A decent brand to try after the types of drugs you were on include Culturelle, Digestive Advantage-IBS and FloraQ. FloraStor is another good one, but some people don't seem to do well on it.
