Hello everybody...It has been a long time since I have checked with the forum. My son finished college last May....it was a struggle the first three years,
many problems with food, weight below 100 pounds, symptoms.....His last year everything seemed to get better. Though he has never been symptom free, he was able to tolerate more foods, and he gained about 20 pounds. Now he is working in the east coast and had seemed well until the beginning of the year.
He started feeling nauseous after breakfast, and just generally having a "not well" stomach. Even if he only had tea in the morning, it would happen. Some days were ok. This went on for a couple of months. Since he was due for a colonoscopy anyways, he did that, and he was diagnosed with c.diff. He wasn't having loose BM's or blood like the fist time he was diagnosed with c.diff. He was put on vancomycin, 4 time a day for two months and he felt much better (he always has when on antibiotics). Now, about a month after finishing the antibiotics, he is feeling queasy again. His colonoscopy came out clear by the way. He has texted his GI doc who told him to give it to the end of the week to see if he feels better. I am wondering what else could make him nauseous, especially after a tea, or a meal (but fairly ok at other times) or if anybody else has had experience with recurrent c.diff infections that have these kinds of symptoms, and not the typical multiple loose BMs, etc. I'm trying to arm myself with questions or other possibilities before he talks with his doc again.
Thank you so much in advance.
