Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 To learn about Cdiff (clostridium difficile), the best thing is to google it & read read read. It's is a horrible thing. I had it. Was diagnosed in October of 2006 & by December had lost 30 pounds. It is diagnosed via a fecal test & they are looking for the clostridium difficile spores. The Cdiff diarrhea is terrible. In less than 24 hours when it started with me, I was in the ER & had to have 2 bags of fluids to get me hydrated again. If you have having uncontrollable diarrhea, you need to be tested right away.
