How many strains of c diff are there? do they all cause watery d? or is there strains that cause loose mushy stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cl. difficile: The effect of this organism on the lining of the colon is due to two toxins it produces and there are numerous different strains of the organism, some more malignant than others. The effects on the stool are based upon many different factors including the strain, number of organisms present, the associated gut flora and so on. Go and get tested.
