Hi everybody. Some background before I get started - I am 18 years old and have been relatively healthy my whole life until I contracted cdiff about a year ago. It has come back multiple times. I was treated with flagyl, if it comes back again I will be switched to vanco. I’m pretty scared and upset about all this.
Last night I became ill. I thought maybe I had contracted a stomach bug. I was out to eat with my family and felt really full and my stomch started to hurt. I went to the bathroom and vomited and also had watery diarreah. When we got home I still wasn’t feeling well, tried to eat a little more, threw up again. I continued throwing up water I was trying to keep down to keep from being dehydrated and having watery diarreah until about 2 AM, the stomach pain went away for the most part & I was able to hold down water from sucking on ice. I had a low
The pain I get is like a cramping feeling in my upper abdomen below my sternum and between my ribs. I get it often but last night it was more severe. My doctor told me before I may have GERD because I also have anxiety. But I don’t think this is GERD considering the vomiting episodes and diarrhea. I think it could be something else like maybe an ulcer and I’m quite worried. I woke up this morning with no stomach pain, fever gone, which is why I’ve ruled out a stomach bug. I have diarreah still but I have not vomited yet. Don’t really have an appetite.
No blood in my vomit or stool as far as I can see. There is some mucus in my stool though I believe? I am scheduled for a colonoscopy this Friday, have been for a while due to the recurrent Cdiff, and now I’m worried because I don’t want to become ill while taking the suprep. I will contact my doctor & GI when they open tomorrow, I just want to hear opinions of people who have dealt with this before. I’m pretty scared. Thanks.
