C.diff and stool variation

Posted by kirstaine @kirstaine, Dec 17, 2022

Tested positive for recurrent c.diff on Nov 28th after taking Augmenton forca sinus infection. Couldn't take vanco (vomited so much I had to go to the ER for fluids). Was placed on 10 days of Dificid and am now following that up with Dificid taper (twice a day for 5 days then 1x every other day until completing all 20 pills). I am on second round day 8 (no does). My stools have been varied from very soft Bristol type 4 and all the way to diarrhea multiple times a day depending on the day. Is type 4 which is very soft still indicative of continued infection? Is no movement on intermittent days (happened two days total in the entire treatment) considered indicative of any thing significant?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Infectious Diseases Support Group.

Would also be interested in further comments. Thanks.
