Annyone with C. Diff w/ constipation?

[iluvmydogs]

Anyone out there that has had or has C. Diff w/ constipation instead of diarrhea, can you send me a message? I can't find a lot of info about c. diff w/ constipation and I'd really like to know what you experienced.
Thanks

In my other post I forgot to tell you that you might try metamucil if your doctor is in agreement to line your system out. It might just be severe IBS which would certainly be better than cdiff! The metamucil will definitely get you to going regularly. My oldest daughter swears by FiberOne Yogurt.

I have had problems with constipation as well and resorted to Metamucil which helped. Recently, after a BM, I still feel as though I am not finished and that I may have urgency and D. I don't have it but it sure feels like I will. It is a dull constant ache in my gut.

I became severely constipated after my very first dose of vanco. It stayed that way for a long time. I used suppositories and milk of magnesia (the latter gave me stomach cramps, so no more of that). I also walked a lot and drank plenty of water. Couldn't tolerate Metamucil. Made me nauseous. I've found Activia yogurt once/twice a day keeps me regular. Other brands do not and I become constipated again. I hope this has helped!

I myself had the same problem after starting Flagyl. At first I was having terrible D and after 2 days on Flagyl it suddenly stopped. Of course I was really happy, but I still felt awful and after 36 hours I had not had a single BM, which was strange considering I went straight from going every 10 minutes to not at all. It took me a couple days to start having regular BMs again, which I think may be normal because c diff messes up your insides so bad that they just can't function the way that they used to. But, on the other hand, if it continues to be a problem I would suggest asking your doctor what to do.
