Suggest Medication For Cdiff
Back in February had a clear fluid ball about the size of a cherry tomato attached to a bowel movement - had so many intestinal issues since then - was diagnosed with cdiff after months of orange oily bowel movements then turned to diarrhea - many times a day - went into hospital in April for cdiff - recently tested again and still came back positive for cdiff - taking vanco 4x day - two questions - what could that clear fluid ball have been and will I always test positive for cdiff?
