What all happen with c diff for you. Everyone keeps telling me I’m so young which is scary too and why did you say the surgery wasn’t the best but gave a better outcome. I’m so scared and I’m crying everyday. I don’t know how to feel what to think should I go back to the hospital stay home. I don’t know any more

Ive had Cdiff over 10 times , verfied with the Stool test each time. 16 Days in Hospital in 11-24-20 until 12-10-20. Could not hold anything down. As soon as I ate a bite, or even drank water, straight on through. Even pills sailed on through , whole, undigested. I was on a liquid Diet (chicken broth, jello, etc). Lost a lot of weight, as you might imagine. I was given Liquid Vancomycin several days. Got stable enough I could digest pills. Finally put on a wonderful Cdiff medicine , Dificid. I was much better within 4-5 days and released from Hospital. It has been an uphill/downhill battle. For instance, I had recent bronchitis. put on Pill form Vancomycin at same time as Zpak. The Vanco was to act as a Prophylaxis to keep me from getting Cdiff again. You have to be very cautious with taking ABX.
You need to have a Stool sample test first to screen for CDIFF. Do you have a fever? Uncontrollable Diarhea? Very foul smelling BM? Have you recently taken an Antibiotic?
If the answer is no to all of these i would doubt CDIFF. But contact your Dr for a stool sample test is where i'd start. My very best to you!
