Worried
Hey...hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. It flew by so fast for me! So I have had some off days the last couple days. I've had sporadic d and a very gurgly stomach...which is the part that scares me most cause when I have c diff my stomach is constantly gurgly. I am on my period so I know I've read on here other woman have had weird bowels while being on their period. It still concerns me because I took the 7 days of Macrobid. I know super low offender but when I have d it automatically scares me. Hoping that it is just my cycle causing the upset. Really hate when I try to analyze any little sounds or weird bowel I have. Grr

Re: Worried
If you tolerate probiotics, I would take them for a few weeks. If things get worse, you can always test for c diff, but if you don't get D, then I wouldn't. Pepto Bismol sometimes helps the other symptoms.

Re: Worried
I sometimes get like that when I ovulate or menstruate. I actually just went thru a yucky IBS episode. Agreed with beth, I would take some probiotics if you aren't already on them. I relapsed from macrobid, but that doesn't mean you will. Hope things settle down for you!

Re: Worried
I've had gurgling noises, especially when I lie down, since I had the C diff infection and they never went away. It's been 13 months already since I had C diff, so I don't think the gurgling noises really are that important. I hope you are just having an IBS flare up, and that you feel better soon.

Re: Worried
Thanks Ladies! My doctor ordered a sample today and I'm gonna try to drop tomorrow. I'm just so irritated because k just started an extensive training class at work. It's 10 weeks long and we video conference other state agencies so I can't be running for the bathroom every 5 minutes! I'll post results. Very frustrated.

Re: Worried
I am extremely prone to c diff but have tolerated Macrobid for years without it causing c diff. (Like any other Med. It can have side effects.)
Bet you just have a stomach virus. In the words of a character in a soap opera I Used to watch when my older son was a baby, "Don't trouble trouble, until trouble troubles you."
My son just turned 49. I don't know how he got so old!!!

Re: Worried
Hello sorry it took so long to post. My new position at work is kicking my butt! The test was negative. Still having off days here and there. Today being one. I know it's most likely ibs. It just scared me ugh! I'm 2 days from Being 3 months out from my 1st enema FMT. So I know I'm still healing and try to not worry so much. But having that abx after scares me. I really hope this little flare is ibs related. I really don't have time for. Relapse right now with work and kids lol. Not that c diff cares. I got my doctor to prescribe enteragam I'm gonna pick in up in the next day or two! Excited to hopefully see good results from it and hope it helps with ibs! This is my 3rd negative test since my 2 enema fmts i know I need to try and be positive. Anytime I get d I still get so scared that it's back. Thanks for listening. I hope everyone is well. I pray nightly for everyone suffering.

Re: Worried
Congrats on the negative test!!! That's great news. And good luck with your new position at work. Maybe the anxiety from that is adding to the IBS. Nerves and stress can definitely bring on IBS for me.
