Hey all,
Turns out I posted in the wrong section despite reading the rules. Anyway, I had a question about watery diarrhea for those who suffer from going to the bathroom 10+ times a day. I am familiar with what normal diarrhea may look like, but my experience so far is far more watery/clear discharge possibly with a tinge of color.
To me this isn't diarrhea but I am having it multiple times each day. I realize, from reading the rules, color has no significance on diagnosis etc of c diff, but is the description of watery diarrhea similar to what I have described. Colorless possibly, or consistency of water/mucus?
More water than poop?

Re: More water than poop?
I had lots of mucus (yay). I told my daughters ID that I didn't have diarrhea anymore, just mucus. She told me that they are one and the same. All of the doctors I have seen consider 10+ movements of mucus to be diarrhea and to be very concerning. I have learned through my family's experience with C. diff poop that there is no one kind of C. diff poop. If you are having mucus and going over 3 times per day I would get tested.

Re: More water than poop?
Thank you for your reply. I plan on getting tested this week. I've been struggling to figure this out and not confuse it with previous constipation problems. I had a root canal and antibiotics back in Nov. 2016 and in December had these gas/bloating/diarrhea symptoms pop up....and it's been hellish ever since.
I've put up with it for a while. Changed my diet, lost weight etc, but not much has changed it.
I found the symptoms of diarrhea confusing since 10+ times per day you couldn't possibly letting our fecal matter...but in my case it's mucus with a tinge of brown/orange/red/yellow. It's a bummer.

Re: More water than poop?
What you describe are definitely mucus attacks. I had those discharges every time I was relapsing , 24 h prior to my relapse I was on the toilet at least 10 times per day with only watery mucus discharge and after that the D hit. I would get tested if I were you , if you cannot submit a watery stool sample you can test the mucus.
