Hi, my name is Reese and I am a 23 y/o female. I took clindamycin 6 months ago with no adverse effects and have never had any adverse reactions to antibiotics; until this round. I am currently on amoxicillin 3x per day to clear up a nasty swimmer's ear infection. I started with cipro, had a bad reaction, and was switched to amoxicillin. Since the switch, I have had diarrhea. Some days it is 5x per day, but today I've been to the bathroom probably 10 or 15 times. The stool is mushy with yellow bits that look like corn. I don't notice an unusual smell, but I am losing weight because of the diarrhea. I have been taking probiotics since the clindamycin and continue to do so daily, 2 hours after my antibiotic. Should I be worried about c-diff?

I would get tested

I agree. Get tested.

Another vote for getting tested. You have been on a lot of antibiotics that destroy good gut bacteria. You are having c-diff symptoms. :-(

Get tested. Good luck and count on us for support.

Take care.

It does sound like CDiff , get tested!

Around 1 in 5 cases of antibiotic associated D is caused by c.diff but your symptoms indicate that you should be tested.
Consult your Dr as they might want to stop any antibiotic treatment untill your tested
