Struggling again..

Postby leegx » Wed Jun 10, 2020 10:39 am

Hi all, so I've posted my C-Diff experience on here previously. After 2 courses of Flagyl and 1 course of Vanco Taper I eventually began to feel somewhat human again. I've been great for 6-8 weeks to the point I would say I'm 99.9% recovered from C-diff. However this week I've noticed a great deal of fatigue, my stomach is going crazy with noises, my BM have been looser and I'm burping alot. I had blood in on one occasion this week as I've been frequently going. Then it sets the worries away again.
Its not WD, my stools were / are almost fully formed again for at least the last month. They are still forming, just I have the urgency to go and going a few times per day.

Does it sound like IBS? I've been trying to follow a strict diet, however I had some lasagne sauce and chocolate over the weekend. I get the same symptoms each time, when my stomach gets upset I get a headache and feel foggy.

When will this ever get better. Im scared

Could be c diff but difficult to tell. See the three-day rule.

Know how upset you are, but "This, too, shall pass." Hang in there.

If it continues, get a test for c diff and also a stool culture in case it is some other pathogen.

I do not think that Cdiff is back , it sounds more like a bad IBS flare because of your bad food choices . Give it a few more days and if it's not calming down , ask to be tested , at least for a peace of mind.
