Has anybody had this and will it pick up C.diff?

the ones that sequence the micro biome might. it depends if they include c.diff strains in the tests

Oh ok.. I asked for a test for c.diff. My GP said they are very expensive and if I had C.diff I'd be very very sick

You would be very sick.

Yes tests came back clear. No infection tho I'm unsure of what they tested for. Still getting awful direah, and the smell is revolting. I'm embarrassed to pass wind it's so foul. Very little blood, just direah

That's likely to be a low level flare. If it smells sulphurous my GI says that's a proliferation of bad bacteria. You can try some of the things that work for people on here to help reduce bad bacteria and boost good bacteria--oregano oil, nopal, vsl#3, sauerkraut, tumeric, etc etc.

Thanks heaps, I was using resistant starch so maybe the "switch flicked" as pathogen killer said.. It smells disgusting, sickly smelling like a child with gastro.
