can someone tell me the symptoms of c.difficle? I think I have GERD and definately positive for h. pylori, but I have cramping in stomach too and noised from stomach. I don't have diarrhea, thank God. But, lots of stress and that is cuasing pain in my stomach too. I am going to a GI tomorrow, will inquire about c. difficile too.

Just looked up the symptoms for you (and I'm also kind of worried about this since I'm on Clindamycin right now)...
The three PRIMARY symptoms are:
-watery diarrhea that may contain blood or pus -fever -abdominal pain, cramping or tenderness
Also:
Mild C. diff disease starts with mild to moderate diarrhea with no blood in the stool. Sometimes there's cramping in the lower abdomen, too. Other than mild abdominal tenderness, there aren't any other symptoms.
Severe C. diff disease is another matter. It starts with profuse watery diarrhea and abdominal pain. Patients often have fever, nausea, and dehydration. There may be a little blood in the stool, but very bloody stool is rare.

C. difficile causes diarrhea. Lots of it. And it smells too.
Best, Timaca

I don't have diarrhea, I hope I don't get that, but I do have h.pylori and GERD symptoms and stomach pain too. I have been on abx for 3 days now, and very slight improvement.

Get a stool test for c.diff toxins A & B done and make sure its loose stool and it gets to the lab quick and is kept cold.
cramping, gurgling, bloating, pain, diarrhea, fever and blood...one or all can be c.diff.
