The poo can be acidic coloured, anything from tan colour to acid yellow, explosive, I believe it is also spread by spores. Would be interesting to know if people with a crazy immune system are vulnerable as cdiff usually goes for people whose immune system is shot eg after broad spectrum antibiotics.Gill from the other side of the Big Pondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-51420466221347457572012-02-10T07:51:52.252-08:002012-02-10T07:51:52.252-08:00Good to know!

I shall have to ask his doctor if he can still get C. diff if he hasn't got a colon. We have to be so careful with diarrhea because he dehydrates so quickly. One more thing to worry about I guess.suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-5706280877727917872012-02-10T05:01:14.952-08:002012-02-10T05:01:14.952-08:00thank you for this information, Julia!

I have been on Omeprazole for about 3 years, after my gastroenterologist discovered that my Sjogren's had led to Barrett's Esophagus, caused by years of heartburn and dryness. Now I must have endoscopies yearly...anyways, I have suffered from diarrhea from time to time, so I will be certain to point this out to my doctor. Again, thank you for all that you do!Leslie at SugarAndSpiceADK.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09311900004547134837noreply@blogger.com
