I have had a j pouch since 2006, with pouchitis but few other problems. The past week has been concerning. A week ago tonight, I was violently sick ( throwing up, watery diarrhea, chills, bad abdominal cramps, headache). I got mostly stabilized at home by the next morning but was concerned about Covid. Two negative antigen and one negative pcr test later, I have ruled out Covid but am still not feeling well. I have improved but plateaued with moderate nausea, limited energy and still watery ( not formed) stools. I am in a complicated comorbidity situation, incl kidney disease, so I have to watch this extremely closely to avoid dehydration. So I am thinking this could be either c diff (??) or a blockage of some kind. Any thoughts or advice ? Or maybe I am missing something else ? Thank you
