Specializes in Internal Medicine

Toxins & Dehydration: C. Diff produces toxins (poison) that cause inflammation throughout the body (similar to your worse flu). Nausea, diarrhea, muscle aches & feeling sick are due to toxins, dehydration & loss of potassium. Certain antibiotics will help eradicate the c. Diff.
