Been having watery explosive diareah past 2 weeks. It's usually yellow and watery. What I eat plays a role most definitely, but I just been feeling so icky with nausea and intestinal cramping no matter what I eat. What does c diff look or smell like because I'm reading online it would smell sweet or like a "horse barn"?? My doctor and others have told me it smells extremely foul. I just feel so nausea, cramps, weak tired, and crappy. This is not a herx, only GI symptoms. Do I need to up probiotocs? My mom had c different even though she didn't have diareah and was also not on abx, the only way she knew was because her stool looked like it literally had lieces of hay or sticks in it, looked crazy. Then the doc gave her abx for c diff. I'm worried might have it. The probiotics I take now are digestive with only 2 strains of bacillus classic and another one. Should I add lactobacillus as well?

Saccharomyces boulardii is supposed to compete against C diff bacteria. Many LLMDs will recommend it during abx treatment.

Bartonella smells awful. I once thought I got c diff, but it was actually bart.

You are taking bactrim, but you don't think this is a herx?

Very good question, I'd like to know the answer to that myself lol. I don't think it's a herx. It's not my first rodeo here, I've had direah off of abx before in the past. It's like every single thing I eat now, just comes right back out. I want to say my gut is screwed up from abx and maybe gut balance is off so maybe I need more probiotics? Idk if it's even possible to have a diareah herx lol is it? I also have ibs that I think got worse. Bile salts helped loads but now being on abx almost 2 months, seems like the bile salts stopped working. Chicken seems to hold down just fine so idk if it's a herx. I think it's rather my gut is more sensitive to the abx and maybe it made more food intolerance now?

I do have a bottle of sacch b. so I will definitely keep that I mind and give it a go. I heard it's also great for tackling yeast , candida overgrowth.
