Anyone else have cyclical D?

Hi fellow IBSers.
I am so tired of this. I had a serious intestinal infection in May that required antibiotics - the antibiotics led me to have C-Difficile that wasn't diagnose until Sept. I thought that finally finding an answer to my problems would be great. However, here I am MONTHS later and I still have recurring diarrhea every 10-12 days. I'll have diarrhea for 3 days, take a bunch of fiber pills to get it under control, have a couple of days of normal bms (with white mucous attached tho) and then I'll start the gradual decline back to the diarrhea. The gradual decline ALWAYS includes a burning feeling about an inch below my breastbone.
I keep thinking that if I can at least go a whole month without diarrhea I'll feel better about this, but it ALWAYS comes back like clockwork. It is strange how it follows this cycle - does anyone else have a similar pattern? Right now I am taking an anti-fungal in the hopes that maybe I have an intestinal yeast overgrowth. I could accept the IBS diagnosis - but I feel that due to the cyclic nature of this beast it has to be something 'living' such as a parasite or amaebas (which I constantly test negative for)
I live in Bolivia and everyone and their brother gets amaebas, shigella, salmonella - you name it - then they take their medicine and they're over it. NOT ME! I test negative for all that crap, have worse symptoms, and have no solution to my problem. It makes me feel like there is something majorly wrong with me. Plus, now everyone feels compelled to discuss their personal 'diarrhea illness' episodes with me! I always let them know they're lucky that their illness at least went AWAY!
I am sorry for this long vent but I am so mad that I am not like I used to be. Most of the time I can accept it, but today just wasn't a good day.

Hi m&ms,
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with this. When my IBS was at it's worse it would happen like clockwork every 10 days. As soon as I thought I was OK and started to eat normal, the D would come back.
Are you taking probiotics along with the fiber? What about calcium? (Sorry, I cannot remember if you have already mentioned this.)
Is it just D or are you having cramps, nausea, etc.?
If it is just D you may be able to control it with the above mentioned probiotics and calcium. If you have cramps your doc should give you an antispasmodic. If you have nausea you should look into what you eat and at what time of day. Nausea can also be a result of GERD.
Hang in there... things will get better.

My post from earlier containing an article about C. difficle becoming resistant to antibiotics and even more difficult to get rid of.

Even if you don't have the resistant strain, I have read that C. difficle is very hard to get rid of and it may take multiple rounds of antibiotics to get rid of it. I would go back to your doctor and tell him it's flared back up again. Get him to put you back on antibiotics and hit the probiotics HARD. I mean take mega doses of them while you are on the antibiotics and for 2-4 weeks afterwards. The antibioitcs will kill off most everything, but if you don't get the good stuff established back in there, then the C.d will just come back with even more room than ever to spread out and multiply.

I read one doctor's website last year that said he routinely put his patients on like triple doses of probiotics while they were on antibiotics because all of those good bacteria you are putting in are getting largely killed off by the antibioitics too. It's really a fight to give them a toehold while you are getting rid of the bad stuff. Then once you come off the antibiotics, you really need to do the probiotics big time to keep the bad bacteria from taking advantage of the empty space.
