I was on nothing but Doxy for a while, my dr just started me on Biaxin XL last week. Since starting, my stools have become soft, i go about 3 times a day, and i have some slight cramping in between going.
Im wondering if it sounds like c-diff or if i am overreacting but i cant think of anything else that would cause a change in stools like this, especially for me.
Thanks in advance.
Im taking That S Boul.. stuff.. and Probiotics.

I looked up Biaxin XL for you on the internet. The first site that came up listed diarrhea as the first side effect of biaxin.
I'll bet if you check the package insert, it also tells you this. So, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Based on what you said, I think C. Diff is a lot more severe. Going way more than 3x a day.
But I have never had it thank goodness.
You can always have a stool sample checked. Usually its 3 samples one a day for 3 days,

I work in healthcare. C-Diff has a very distinctive foul odor. You would know.
