A member asked:

Can testing postive for c diff toxin b & x-ray showing constipation be dangerous? haven't started treatment yet. should i tho?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You should start : Treatment for c-diff. Follow any advice from your doctor(s). Typically c.Diff colitis, lead to diarrhea, and not to constipation. However with a positive test, you may want to treat it, especially if that is what you doctor recommends.
