Re: EIA Test
It can be a false negative, but if you think it is, ask your doctor if you can test again.

Re: EIA Test
It depends what you mean by "symptoms".
If PCR is positive and EIA is negative and you don't have frequant watery D then it's possibly one of many C. Diff types that do not need treating.

Re: EIA Test
Hi - thanks for the responses. I should have clarified - I tested positive months ago with a PCR in the hospital. I am pretty sure I am having a relapse now with water diarrhea for 2 days and bad abdominal cramping. My doctor only does the EIA test for some reason and that keeps coming back negative, so I’m worried it’s a false negative since I’m having symptoms. Trying to avoid the ER, but not sure how much longer I should wait because I’m pregnant…
