What color is c diff stool? Can iv zithromax and zosyn cause it?
You’ll need a specialist opinion but C diff is often related to highly watery diahorea type stools. Both of those drugs can contribute to c diff. Only a test will confirm whether this is the case for you

I am waiting for test to come back I have all the symptoms.Since I have Cystic Fibrosis and was on a large dose of antibiotics this makes since I have had C-diff in the past also due to the use of antibiotics to kill a infection in the lungs ,This is a great source of information thank you so much
I have had this c.diff since I got out of the hospital, which was dec.29th 2010.cant take flagyl, cannot afford vancomycin, so what else is there? I’m so sick of being sick. my stomach cramps is unbearable. can you tell me what else to do. I am still under the doctor’s care for this condition.
I just found out today that I am a Cdiff sufferer. Over a week with diarrhea. Not eating anything for 4 days.I was finally able to eat some bites of food today. I am glad to finally have a diagnosis! I have my fingers crossed that the Flagyl will do the trick. I had my gall bladder removed on Jan. 23rd. I am guessing that my stay in the hospital was the cause, from what I have been reading about this awful bug. I almost felt normal today! (After 10 days of feeling like crap…..joke intended!)I was on Cipro for awhile for celulitis from my newly diagnosed diabetes. I read that Cipro is used for anthrax. Yikes! I guess that could have been not working in my favor also.
Also, what foods should I be eating? I am thinking bland-healthy at first. Any ideas???
Thanks, I hope you all find relief soon too! Joan
