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.
Hi, my 21 year old daughter had C Diff about 4 weeks ago. I found out recently that she did not take all of her antibiotics prescribed. I also have a compromised immune system due to sever breathing issues and being in antibiotic therapy three times a week. Even though it is a few weeks later, is it still possible that I could have picked up disease? I constantly was cleaning with bleach products over these last few weeks. I am also having nausea and diarrhea on and off off the last couple of weeks; however, I recently had herd surgery completed and this has bothered my bowels. I also have had severe nausea and diarrhea several times in the last two days.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. C. Diff is spore forming bacteria and its possible that you might have picked it up while being exposed to it. If you are having watery diarrhea with no shape to your stools, its very likely you have C.Diff and you should seek immediate medical attention before its too late. Also you might want to try using a different type of cleaner and washing your hands with soap and water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Samuel Parmar
