No official diagnosis, but my mom has CC and I have the exact same symptoms. Started having diarrhea after being hospitalized with Sepsis in May. When it didn’t go away doctor did blood work to rule out C-diff and other issues. Blood work was normal. I’m now on a six week road trip with my newly retired husband and have been struggling with diarrhea and stomach pain.

@kbiederbeck - Welcome to Mayo Connect!
It must be very unpleasant to be on a road trip in your condition.
What do you take now to control it? Imodium? I also took Peptobismol. Try to keep up with the fluids if you are losing large amounts of diarrhea.
When you get home you should probably see a Gastroenterologist.
My CC was diagnosed after having a biopsy.
Can you get back to me later on when you know more?
