Hi Everyone! I am new to this site so wanted to introduce myself!
Ive been diagnosed with IBS-D a few years ago and have always suffered from diarrhea/loose stools/gas/you name it. However, just recently (about a month ago) i took a z-pack for a throat infection and since then my diarrhea hasnt let up which is a bit out of the normal for me. To be fair, I also just started a new job at the same time and have been under a lot of stress/anxiety with the new change. And the daily diarrhea at a new job is making me more anxious. I saw my GI doctor last week and he tested me for c-diff which came back negative. I am still anxious though that it was a false negative and i really do have something seriously wrong with me. I have always been able to rely on imodium and even that isnt working anymore. I am extremely anxious about this and not sure what to do now.. i cant stop worrying that it is something more than ibs. My dr told me to take florastor twice a day which i will start doing but am definitely in need of some advice and encouragement
