This morning I was completely fine, but I noticed some rather acidic gas that I would occasionally burp up soon after. I went through the day normally, but I also noted that my stools were growing more liquidy, from a somewhat typical one to diarrhea. I have a shift early in the morning so I went to bed early, taking a quarter of a Zanex. At about 1 am, I woke with slight abdominal pain, which was not adverse to menstrual cramps. I passed some gas and then headed to the bathroom, and sat there for a good 10 minutes with pure liquid stools. Its been an hour and a half, and the abdominal pain persists and occasionally is sharper when I lay down, usually right in the center of where my ribcage ends. I'm still passing the liquid stools every so often, and the gas seems to make it no better. I was certain that I was going to throw up about ten minutes ago, but it was pure gas in my throat causing it. I've been trying to drink water now and again, but I have work in an hour and a half. Is this serious enough to miss work or should I just tough it out? And what can I do to help resolve the pain and cure my diarrhea as quickly as possible

Bet you just have a GI bug. We get them too!  

 

Hydrate like a maniac!  I usually can stay up on hydration with diarrhea; it's when it's spewing from both ends that I generally end up in urgent care.

 

Not every bout of watery stool and stomach cramps is an immediate rush to a C Diff diagnosis/infection... I wouldn't worry about that immediately, unless you've got other things going on with you that you haven't mentioned (such as antibiotic use, past history of C Diff, an exposure, etc.)

Hi sorry this is way back u posted this but

 for the past 2 days Iv been having all these symptoms!! What was the outcome from this please 

thanks 

I was admitted to hospital with a c diff infection 2 years ago. I was told that the bug had been identified and I should expect to recover as soon as my fluid levels were OK. After another 48 hours I was still unable to retain fluid. I told the hospital doctor that I had been using cannabis for the last 25 years and I would like to smoke. The head doctor enabled me to leave the hospital grounds for this purpose. I smoked my joint and six hours later I was released from hospital after being told that I was at least 2 days away from recovery. I have posted my story on other forums. If you have a pouch and you haven't used cannabis as medicine I suggest that you should give it a go. Any feedback would be interesting.
