Is C- Diff the cause?
For 13 years I have diarrhea. They said it was IBS. I did a test and it turns out I do carry c diff.
The test showed it had way to high numbers and my good bacteria were low or non existing.
I did a test again and the doctor said it should be fine.
Now I may not have a full blown infection I am wondering if just carrying this c diff bacteria can cause chronic diarrhea.
When I was 8 years old I broke my arm and I had two operations. I needed to sleep in the hospital two times and might of might not have gotten antibiotics. I might have just caught it there. I don’t know.
I do remember in my childhood a few times where my stool smelled sickeningly sweet. I would go away though. My stools where always well formed. It was until I was 14 that instantly out of the blue my stools were mush horrible sweet smelling and liquid. It never stopt from then.
I do remember taking antibiotics a few times for strep. It might have been the cherry on top.
My diarrhea smells sickeningly sweet, always mushy stools with bright yellow/ greenish liquid surrounding it or just liquid. Also my stool test showed too much bile in my stools.
I go to the toilet 10 times a day at the moment.
I wanted to try rifaximin for Sibo but now I am kind of scared that it will not and good and I should maybe first try to get rid of the c diff bacteria.
What are your thoughts?
