A member asked:
I've been in and out of the hospital for months and i was just diagnosed with cdiff.instead of having diarrhea i've been constipatedis that normal?

Possible: But not common. Some labs would not run the test on solid stool. I wonder why was the test ordered if you did not have symptoms suggesting C diff. If you had been diagnosed with C diff in the past the last positive test suggests carrier status.
