Relapse???

Postby cake918 » Fri Sep 21, 2018 4:52 pm

Long story short... cdiff diagnosis after three months with it in December 2016, two rounds of vanco. Cleared. Diagnosed with PI IBS, had IBS D before cdiff. Fast forward 6 months. Strep. Zpack with vanco as preventive measure. I’m five weeks out from vanco. I’ve bern taking 2 florastor two times daily with Align every other day. Over the last week I’ve been really gassy, some cramping, and nausea. BM are at 2-3 a day (most always in the AM) soft but formed. My anxiety has been through the roof so I know that’s not helping. My GI doc said she doesn’t think it’s cdiff since I’m not having B, M or watery D. Only had M with initial cdiff.
IBS or cdiff?? Should I ask for testing? Thoughts?

I agree. If symptoms continue, then I would test.
