Hi everyone,
I had a long battle with c diff that I finally cured last year (March 1st) however over the last two days, I have had diarrhea/extremely soft stool every time I go to the bathroom, although it's only been 3 times total. The last time was last night where the pain was so bad it woke me up and I ran to the bathroom. I've also had abdominal pain, cramping and a lot of gurgling. Does anyone with IBS ever get symptoms like this? I usually don't and that's why I'm concerned. Thank you for your responses.
C diff free for a year but have had diarrhea for almost two days

Yes, IBS can give those symptoms, but maybe you just got a bug ate something that caused this.

Worrying though I know that symptom is, really stick to the 3-day rule--if this subsides, it was probably an IBS flare (I've had ones that sound similar), something you ate, or a bug.

I am in a similar boat, after no symptoms for the past 2 months following a Vanco taper pulse.
Then D twice the past 2 days, and some "gurgling," and gas today. Arg. I thought I was out of the woods and on road to recovery. Pray this is just a winter stomach bug or something. I really don't want another course of abx, really hoping my flora is re-balancing on its own.

Well, false alarm on my part, probably a stomach bug or restaurant food. Knock on wood. Hope you are in the clear as well, hppyppy. I have a lot on my plate right now as it is.
