C-diff, as it's known, can cause severe dirrhea and crampy intertinal inflammation called colitis.

Thank goodness I didn't get those side effects when I had my ulcer and was on Prilosec. See, everything good for you is bad in the long run, I guess.

I was hospitalized last month with C.difficle. I was not on any meds at the time of the infection (besides Synthroid and Yasmin). The docs don't know how/why I got it (its not a food poisioning bacteria), but I suspect its just one of those bacterial overgrowths that those with celiac may be prone to. I had never been so ill in my life - the D was water - no substance (sorry, that's kind of gross) and constant vomitting. My lips turned blue and my blood pressure was so low, I couldn't stand without falling over. Very scary. It is supposedly a common overgrowth in those that have been taking antibiotics for a long time (like hospital patients)..... If you have more info on this infection, could you please post?
