A member asked:

How accurate are stool test for c diff? came back positive but have 1-2 bm a day. not watery diaherra. loose soft sumtime pile like moist chunky mushy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

C. difficile: The tests are very accurate, but not everybody who has c. Diff toxin in their stool has to be overtly symptomatic. This, however, should be looked at by a knowledgeable physician and a decision as whether treatment of you is warranted made. Good luck.
