i guess this is the right place.....
i was diagnosed with c-diff and just released from the hospital. i am a 28 year old male and they dont seem to know where i got this from. it seems to be in check now with the ant-biotics with almost all the pain and excessive visits to the bathroom now gone. however, when i do go to the bathroom, it is the same as before. i was wondering if this was normal and when do you start to have solid bowel movements as oppesed to these c-diff ones?? any response would be greatly aprreciated. thank you

I had pseudomembranous colitis and it took about a month for my BM pattern to firm up. I went through a period of noodle looking (about the diameter of worms) stools for a while. I guess it was from all of the inflammation. Then when things firmed up, I went just 2 or 3 times a day for a while - that was good for me since when I was at my worst, I was going 50 times a day. But I am not like I was before this whole C. diff. mess - still.
I have been in remission since June 2005 (I had active C. diff. for 5 to 6 months) - and I am still waiting to go back to my normal prior to C. diff. But at least, I only go once a day now. Oftentimes, my stools are fragmented and flaky. I just had a bad day today though. So the saga continues...
