I know I'm responding to an old post, but it just rang so true with me. I had my gallbladder removed in October 2020. Up until then, I'd been losing weight without trying. In June 2020, I was 175. By August, I was 147 and from October to November, I'd lost another 30 pounds. After multiple ER trips, I was finally diagnosed with C. Diff and admitted to the hospital for a week. Since then, I wind up in the ER about every 4-6 weeks with crippling pains in my stomach. Every test comes back negative and I've been to doctors at 3 different hospitals and no one can figure out what's wrong. I've had a hiatal hernia that's been repaired three times and has reopened, however, the doctors say there's not enough tissue to repair it again. I'm at my wits end and I just pray that the doctors at Mayo can figure this out. Thanks for listening.

I really hope they figure out where your pain is coming from. How is your bowel? C Diff destroys the body and I always wonder if the gut will ever be normal again.
