C-diff- Clostridium difficile and a manmade bacterial infection that causes outrageous urgent diarrhea along with intestinal cramps and with long term mistreatment can cause colon irritation = IBS—irritable bowel syndrome and colitis- same thing with one just more irritated than the other. This ALWAYS occurs when being under a doctors care very often when hospitalized—where most of the germs are – right along side the arsenal of antibiotics. Hmmm -what a coincidence. C-diff NEVER occurs w/o antibiotic treatment. And guess what the next treatment is—that’s right –another round of antibiotics which puts you on the fast train to inflammatory bowel disease. When they come at you with that bs- RUN–not to the bathroom-not to the drug store—- but as fast as you can to the probiotic store. That is a new definition of “the runs.”
