I posted last week that I had been given amoxicillin for sinuses and was worried about developing c diff - I first of all got evil flatulance for couple of days then that went but I started to have to go to the loo much more than normal in a morning like up to 7 times in 3 hrs but then fine rest of day and no diarrhea as such in fact poo is better formed than normal. As I didn't have watery diarrhea or temp or feel sick I just assumed it was antibitoics BUT they finished Monday last tablet monday morming but the bowel trouble has stayed the same.
Every morning I have to go to loo every 15-30 mins and get quite bad cramping and the shivers just before I have to rush - but not watery runs at all- nicely soft formed:blush: if you know what I mean.
I normally go to loo 3-4 times in a morning but 5-7 times is a bit much:lac:
I have googled of course:whistles: and reassured and frightened myself in equal measures - it doens't help that a neighbour of mine had c diff diagnosed last summer after months and months of diarrhea but he wasn't ill as such it just showed up in a stool test so had a mild case from taking lots of antibiotics for chest infections and tooth infections ( he is 76 yrs old!)
I read that the upset bowels that isn't c diff just caused by minor alteration in intestinal flora can last for up to 2 weeks after antibiotcs stopped so trying to reason with myself that if it gets really bad like watery diarrhea with temp and sickness or this continues as bad for over 2 weeks then need to take a sample to Dr#s but of course the HA past of me wantt o rush off a sample to Drs now but I know she would look at me as if I was mad.
What does anyone else think please??
