Jury is in, looks like I've tested positive and C.Diff is the culprit. I read the likely causes and oddly I've not been on any long term or even short term antibiotics. Not happy to hear my GI say it can be a bitch to treat and sometimes it can take a long time to get rid of it. The flagyl my primary put me on is usually what the insurance people want you to start on but I had a "Sh*t" reaction to that after three days, so he is pushing for the more expensive stuff. Then hearing what another alternate treatment was (stool transplant) made me think, who do I know that is so full of Sh*t; they can spare some for a transplant. I'm just happy to have a diagnosis and starting point so I can get on something that might work.
