Hey!
I'm in the process of doing a 30 day dificid taper. I have a question though... has anyone tested only mucus by pcr and gotten a negative? My pcr was positive but it was mucus with no stool. I don't think it was incorrect as it cleared up after dificid but it seemed to be clearing up before I started dificid so now I'm confused. It doesn't matter at this point because I've already started the taper but just curious if mucus messes with pcr.

Re: Testing mucus
When I first got c diff, I also tested just M and it was positive. In the last few years, I have tested a couple of times when I had a lot of M and it was negative. So, both are possible. M does not always mean a positive test or that it is c diff.
