Can food poisoning cause a relapses after 3yrs free of cdiff
Hi every one last Saturday I got hit with a bad case of food poisoning. I was on the toilet at least 15 times that night. The next day never ate much but had 1 course of diarrhea then yesterday stool was formed and just went once. My stomach has been gassy and cramping still tho. Then this morning I went solid then about an hour later I had to go again and it was st8 watery diarrhea and now my stomach is aching and feels like I’m going to have diarrhea again. So my question is can food poisoning cause you to relapse?

If you have food poisoning, you might have a different pathogen like e coli, salmonella, campylobacter, etc. If it continues, ask your doctor for a stool culture and if you think you have c diff, then they can do a test for that as well. I had campylobacter from eating undercooked chicken and the symptoms were the same as for c difficile.
