Clinical Manifestations


The video above describes the most common C. diff infection symptoms. About 20% of hospitalized adults are C. diff carriers. Those who have diarrhea with colitis, can have watery diarrhea up to 10-15 times daily with lower abdominal pain and cramping, low grade fever, and leukocytosis.

Someone can also develop protein losing enteropathy with hypoalbuminemia. What this means is that the bowel wall becomes so inflamed, albumin (a protein in the blood) begins to leak out. With the albumin, water also follows. Patients can develop ascites (fluid buildup in the stomach) and peripheral edema, as a result.

Below is a video of a woman who contracted C. diff. She explains how she got it, what her symptoms were, and how it impacted her life. It is a little longer than the one above, but I found it to be excellent to hear about it from a patient's perspective.



ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS!

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
