Clostridium diff.: If you were very ill and in the hospital recently, likely at some point on an antibiotic, you are at risk for a serious bowel infection known as clostidium difficile, which causes a very bad diarrhea. You need to see your doctor and be tested for this, and then treated if it is present.

If you've gone a few days without having a bowel movement, is it normal for your first bowel movement after that to cause some pretty strong stomach cramps? Or for that bowel movement to be a lot of diarrhea?
