Er sat. am, explosive diarrhea, abdominal bloating, pain&gas. stool sample to lab today, mon. lab results in 48hrs for c diff possible. what is the best diet to get under control? possibly cefdinir caused this? use imodium or not?

The biggest problem in a person with explosive diarrhea is keeping hydrated and maintaining electrolyte levels. Make sure you are drinking 2.5 liters of water/electrolytes daily to maintain hydration. Once the lab test comes back a specific treatment will be prescribed by your DR. Eat a limited diet consisting of only Rice/crackers/dry toast, bananas, apples- no fatty foods, no high fiber foods.

Agree with Dr. Karatzburg. You may take Imodium. Do stay hydrated with water, electrolyte drinks or a soda like Gatorade. Practice hand hygiene rigorously to prevent spread of infection. Norovirus may require cleaning with special agents. For info: https://www.cdc.gov/norovirus/index.html#:~:text=Norovirus%20is%20a%20very%20contagious,contact%20with%20an%20infected%20person
