Yes, I think she already did that test. She said the stool tests came back negative so hopefully that is a good signMollyBloom54 <jawlaw93@...> wrote:

I was in ER when they tested - stool samples. See below. (What a thrilling subject; but I can attest to the misery if not treated)----ON C-difficile:Clostridium difficile or C. difficile is a bacterium that causes diarrhea and more serious intestinal conditions such as colitis. It is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in hospitalized patients in the industrialized world. It is also one of the most common infections in hospitals and long-term care facilities.The use of antibiotics increases the chances of developing C. difficile diarrhea. Treatment with antibiotics alters the normal levels of good bacteria found in the intestines and colon. When there are fewer of these good bacteria, C. difficile can thrive and produce toxins that can cause an infection.TEST:A sample of a stool is

submitted for laboratory analysis. There are several laboratory methods used to detect C. difficile toxin in the stool specimen. For many years, a cell cytotoxin assay has been used. This method incubates the stool specimen in the laboratory with tissue culture cells that are monitored over 24 to 48 hours for a specific reaction.More recently, an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect the toxins of C. difficile has been used. The EIA is faster, simpler to perform, and results are available in about an hour, but it is slightly less sensitive than the cell culture method.> > Hi Diane,> > > > I had mildly elevated ANA several years ago.
