Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have diarrhea. My dr. has diagnosed C-diff. I do not have diarhea more than 6 times a day, No cramps, no fever, no nausea,and no lossof appetite. do you agree with his diagnoses? Yourweb site will not accept my e-mail address: YYYY@YYYY
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
Diarrhoea without fever, malaise and vomiting rules out infective causes. So chances of C-diff is less, however please confirm it by stool examination. Do you recently have taken any antibiotics? As C-diff is mostly associated with use of broad spectrum antibiotic use.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards Dr. Hiren
