C diff

Anyone with Crohn's who also experiences recurring c diff? I had c diff about a month and a half ago. I received treatment and recovered. Today I woke up with terrible abdominal pain, bloating and nausea. I don't know if it's a crohn's flair or the c diff coming back. Any experiences with both Crohn's and c diff is appreciated
Thank you

  1. Hi . I can't personally speak to this issue, but our patient leader Amanda wrote this article on just this topic: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/antibiotics-recurrent-c-diff. In addition, another patient leader, Kelly J., wrote this article on dealing with C. Diff and trying to differentiate between it and a flare: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/c-diff-or-flare. Hope this information is helpful. How are you doing today? Hoping you can get some answers and relief soon. Best, Richard (Team Member)

    1. Hi , I don't have anything more to add that Richard hasn't already shared (so hopefully some of our community members can also chime in), but I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing today? If you haven't already, it might be worth reaching out to your doctor, especially with new and worsening pain you mention. Please, if you're comfortable, let us know how you're doing. I do hope that you can get some answers and some relief quickly. Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
