A member asked:
Does everyone on antibiotics get cdiff? have soft unformed stool once a day that comes fast, doc says it's not technically diarrhea. any advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C. Difficile: Most patients who take antibiotics do not get C diff infection. It is possible that you have C Diff causing your loose stools, but unless this progresses to something more serious it is best to wait and watch. Sometimes this resolves on it's own.
