ickytummy,
You are right it is hard to tell the difference but, a big sign that it is NOT IBS is if you have a fever, blood and significant weight loss. As long as you DONT have any of these symptoms it is more then likely IBS. You also have to go with your gut, if your gut is tell you that it is CDiff no matter what the symptoms are, go and get a test done. It is always better safe then sorry.
nsewell,
I really hope that everything turns out ok for you!! Let us know what the results are. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Well they say neg for Toxin A and B. I guess thats good news but so hard to trust the tests. My stools have always been neg , so theyd do a scope and see it. I will start the Lotronex again and see what happens. I have been off meds for a long time with this test though. Before I was always on Vanco.
