Hi Shanna-
Sorry about
the diarrhea. I couldn't even begin to suggest how often I've had diarrhea while treating, how many different viable triggers there are or causes and effects for diarrhea, including foods, too high concentration of nutrients, vitamin C , the Bs, etc.
C-diff is a serious condition but most people who have diarrhea don't have c-diff. Your MD might be overreacting (in a good way) to be proactive for your benefit (and his---many LLMDS who have come under fire for treating Lyme, have been accused of prescribing abx and causing c-diff)...
There is a simple test for it and the abx prescribed are pretty effective. I'd let your MD know about
the diarrhea simply because he asked you to - who cares what day/time it is - don't worry about
that. But I also don't think you should fret about
c-diff at this point. Please make sure you are taking at least 100biion (preferably more) fresh, high quality and multi-strained probiotic (Garden of Life brand has 34 strains so aim for this amount) and make sure you are not developing a yeast/fungal issue which can also crowd out good bacteria.
Hope this is helpful - please let us know how you're doing.
