Is it possible to test positive for c diff but have no symptoms? like if ur a carrier & were tested would it be positive.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clost. difficile: The most common test measures the presence of toxin in the stool. Many people carry c. Difficile without having symptoms. Generally if there is enough toxin to measure there is enough to produce symptoms, but maybe not. Why were you tested? If for loose stools you should be treated.
