I had cdiff two years ago and take florastor. My issue since I had it is I have attacks of stomach dumping and anxiety without reason. I have talked to my doctor because since the cdiff the anxiety I have gotten some days is overwhelming. He asked if I know of anyone else in the group I belong to has had this issue because he can’t find a reason. I have always been a person with great strengths and now out of nowhere I get anxious. Has anyone else had this issue. Thank you

@losthope I get extreme anxiety if I think I am getting sick. The thought of having to get an antibiotic freaks me out!

I too still get anxiety a lot after CDIff. Stopped the antibiotic 5 month ago and still get anxiety. Did your doctor say if it is good to keep taking Boulardii? Not sure what are the long term effects of continuing with yeast? I am still thinking if I should retake Boulardii now. I only take a probiotic now.

I recently posted for the first time this past weekend. I was recently diagnosed with C Diff but I have a feeling that I have had it for a much longer time and was not tested for it. The doctors tested for parasites and infections but not C Diff. My internist said that I couldn't have had it earlier because my white blood cell count would have shown a substantial increase and it did not.

I am on my 6th day of Vancomycin and my stomach cramps are not as bad. I have extreme anxiety like you and am curious as to the term "stomach dumping". What does it mean? I am having multiple bowel movements daily and am wondering if this is part of C Diff, the antibiotic or the term you are referring to. I am not having loose stools.

I am so grateful for the groups on this Mayo site and all of your input. When I find myself anxious or depressed I try to count my blessings and all of you are counted. 🙂

The anxiety is so overwhelming at times. I am ok and then for no reason cry or have a feeling of impending doom. I was told about a book to read that gives an overview of how much the microbes In our body affect so many different things. I am going to read this if it is worth reading I will share the name.
