Is it c diff again.
Hubby has been fine for 8 months, with your regular ibs symptoms. Especially when he eats wrong things he gets M alot. So lately there has been an increase in M thinking he has to go bad. No diarrhea, so thinking of the 3 day rule. last night he had 3 episodes of urgency and had M no diarrhea. He said it had a slight order. Today his normal bathroom in morning. He has a call into doctor who lady said no appointments until July. I am scared this is starting again. Any one have the urgency to go again and only produce M after 8 months?. He also had prostrate seed inplants 8 month ago, which they say can cause M, but I don't think like this. Help hope he isn't relapsing after 8 months, can you?

Re: Is it c diff again.
Has he been on antibiotics recently? Visited a hospital? If not, the chances of a spontaneous return of c.diff after 8 months is very low.
If prostate seed implants can cause M might be worthwhile to speak to his doctor to find out if the experiences he is having are typical for the M associated with this procedure. M can also be from IBS (especially if he had eaten a trigger food) and/or hemorrhoids.

Re: Is it c diff again.
To alleviate your worry, call the doc again and emphasize you would like your husband on a waiting list. If they do not have one, call every day or so to see if there is a cancellation. Be patient but persistent.
As the others said, I doubt if this is a c diff return. C diff can upset the GI tract for months. I have not had c diff for four years but still have "off" days.
Keep us posted.

No antibiotics no hospital. Mom in nursing home but wash hands after. Have been eating a lot of trigger goods lately. Sugar totally goes through him. He is back to chicken and noodles again to see if calms down. Nurse called will talk to doctor and call back might send to get test kit again. Will keep calling e very day to get appt. Sooner.

Re: Is it c diff again.
Totally agree with Bobbie. And mucous does not have to mean c diff. It can definitely mean IBS and PI IBS can last for years and come and go, as can food intolerances. You are doing all the right things now.

Re: Is it c diff again.
Immodium will only help slow down fast transit , won't do anything for mucus. Ask your doctor for a binding agent like Questran or Enteragam (a medical food that will boost up immune response ) also try small ammount of a fiber supplement , it may help hide the mucus.
