Reply to "Clostridium difficile (C-Difficile)"

First, to answer Jan's question (I do not mind answering anything), I had my stool investigated for c-diff.

I have been fortunate to have been relatively healthy with my pouch. I originally had surgery, in 1984 at the age of 17, in the local children's hospital here in Montreal.

Fast forward 25 years later and I was having issues. Stomach pain and discomfort. It was discovered that anatomy of my pouch was all wrong and that a pouch reconstruction was recommended. I ended up going through the bag (1 year) and re-connection. Along the way, due to incompetence, I developed compartment syndrome in both my legs during the 10 hour surgery. I had two fasciotomies (one per leg, legs sliced open), and damage was kept to a minimum.

I am relatively healthy now, although I experience constipation. No blockage, but it is hard for me to pass stool when more solid than liquid. Hopefully my pouch shape is okay. This is to be investigated.
