Hi. I'm terrified right now. C diff is one of those infections that I am probably most afraid of - and now I think I have it.
I'm on day 4 of a 5 day course of amoxicillin (3 x 500mg). Broad-spectrum antibiotics are the most likely to cause c diff, and amoxicillin is one of them. Today, I started having lower abdominal cramping and watery diarrhoea. I've been to the bathroom with diarrhea 5 times so far. The smell is also really bad. These are all c diff signs. I'm petrified. I am expecting a call back from a doctor soon as I'm so afraid. The thought of pooing myself to death is too much to bear. I can't take this.
Has anyone had similar symptoms after amoxicillin (or another broad-spectrum antibiotic) that turned out not to be c diff? Thanks
