Thanks guys. Gumby---he seems to not believe I could possibly have c-diff. Of course I had issues a while back and the only formed stool I had in months was for the c diff test--they wouldn't even do the test since you "can't have c diff if you have formed stool". I told him of the return of the odor and that I had pudding consistency at best (soory eww reference)...he is leaning toward bacterial overgrowth.
I am thinking that I will ask for the test if the other tests come back normal..I may have to pick up meds in Hawaii, but at least we will be in the states and my insurance is fine there. Oh...and I am going to ask for Xifaxin even if he thinks it's bacterial overgrowth---crud who was it on here who took that for a long time---I have heard good things about
if from several others too.
ps - just got a call from the GI office on my bloodwork--hey for once my blood work shows something when I feel crappy---no actual numbers, but my "white count is slightly elevated and there is increase in my inflammatory markers. Will wait for results of CT on Friday to proceed." Sounds silly to be excited about it, but I just glad I am taken seriously now.
