Can Cdiff come back after 9 months and two negative tests and no antibiotics?

Postby Soimez » Fri May 26, 2017 3:51 pm

Hi folks, soimez here again... well this morning I got hit with so very soft thin stool that burns and then two more times.. now I know c diff causes watery D but every time for me when it started the first few days I would get the urge to go and than have to strain hot small little cheeto/ribbon like stool out. I'm freaking out I just don't understand how this could just come back.. my stomach felt like it was back to normal.. I'm very stressed and waiting at my doctors well I'm write this.. also I have been very nauseous today and even threw up this morning.. pls help, could it be c diff coming back or just my bad diet as of late..

Without taking antibiotics, or having a weakened immune system, the chance of having a spontaneous relapse after 9 months is very, very slim. I would say this is more likely an IBS attack, some type of bug/virus, or possibly food poisoning. Hope the doctor can provide some explanation for you.

I work in a school and we have had some type of GI bug going around. Both students and teachers have been sick, some mildly and some more violently. Hopefully, it is just a bug for you as well.

Yikes, I am visiting So Cal now. Stomach bug is going around your school in late May? I thought those usually hit in the fall. Eeeeeek hope folks stay home so they won't spread it around.

I know is hard not to panic but try to calm down , it doesn't sound like Cdiff , it may be a IBS flare or a little food poisoning or maybe a virus.

It is not unusual to panic and be afraid of a recurrence but I have to agree with the others that not only would a spontaneous recurrence for no apparent reason at this point be highly unlikely, but your symptoms don't sound like c diff. Try to relax even though it's hard.

I agree with the others, it is possible but not probable. Have you tried a heating pad for the pain?

See CDI - three day rule and IBS. I've had IBS off and on aof years and the symptoms are so similar.

Keep us posted.

Negative.. I feel that diet is everything to getting over cdiff and healing your stomach.. Fermented foods daily is the key.. i have kefir twice a day once in the morning and once before bed also sauerkraut.. thanks for all the support but I think it's time to stop worrying about cdiff and just start living again..
