So far I have been hospitalized twice for c diff, which starts out as a stomach ache, turns to nausea, then leaves me vomiting, having diarrhea, and in severe pain for at least six hours.

I usually can't eat for a few days and when I get out I still don't feel so great.
The worst thing about this is the pain and the fact that it can come on so suddenly.
