Endless diarrhea and loose stools for 3 weeks
Hi!
My story starts with tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy that took place on June 2nd, it’s been a rough surgery where I’ve spent 5 days in the hospital, getting IV meds and antibiotics.
As I got discharged, the doctor prescribed me with Clindamycin, 600 mg twice a day for 6 days. My last dose was on June 11th.
My first diarrhea episode started on June 18th and since then it’s been on and off. I go 2-3 times a day, it’s either loose or watery, I tried to take probiotics and some Imodium, but it doesn’t really make any difference. I suspected that it might be c diff and went to get tested with GDH + toxin test, 3 days later both were negative.
Currently I am having left sided discomfort, my belly is hard and my stool is yellow and it’s either mushy, watery or barely formed. I changed my diet completely (went to rice, banana and stuff), but still, even with the changes the stool is not formed entirely. With any kefir or yogurt attempts, all I get is diarrhea and couple of days ago I’ve had one episode of green mushy stool.
Honestly, it drives me crazy not knowing what the hell is going on with me, since I’ve never dealt with this kind of discomfort longer than 2 days. The worst part is that this freaking test turned out to be negative and I’m not sure it’s c diff or something else.
Has anyone had similar issue, timing, stool colour and left side discomfort?
I am the point where I tried all of the OTC options available to me and I don’t know how to proceed next.
