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 am trying not to over think things, but I have had diahrea since Saturday and now all of a sudden I am very sick to my stomach as well. Last week, I was diagnosed with Broncial Spasm and now this. I am only a little concerned because I have been exposed to C-Diff. I am really not sure what that is, but I have heard it can be bad.
