c. diff stool characteristics

Postby TerryAnn » Sat Mar 12, 2022 3:56 am

Hello!
Does c. diff stool usually float? Is it always watery diarrhea, or can it be just loose stool? Is there always abdominal pain? Thank you

It can be any of those things. Unless you have WD or many bms of loose stools, doctors do not usually treat. Some have abdominal pain and others don't.

There is not typical stool description with Cdiff . Is can alternate between loose stools sometimes with M or B ,to pure water.

You are not stating whether you have multiple movements every day. With c diff you are in the bathroom frequently, more than 3 times per day, usually much more, and your stool is loose enough that it is unformed and would take the shape of a container.
