My dad had a kidney removed due to cancer, but it returned and is being treated with Paz to keep it at bay.
He started getting severe diarrhoea (spending the entire day and night on the loo and wearing nappies). He's been hospitalised for this several times due to dehydration.
The oncologist said it was due to the Paz, and he needs to find a balance between loperamide and laxatives, to prevent this...so the more than monthly trips to the hospital have yielded no help as it was thought to be this as the cause.
He's been admitted now, again. This time they tested his stools and found out he's got C Diff and probably had it for some time and are angry he's never been tested before. He is very weak at the moment (lost a lot of weight and has a catheter as he can't wee).
I'm so pleased that he is finally going to be treated, but worried that I may have it. I've had diarrhoea today and a noisy/uncomfortable tummy, that feels like it's clunking. I have, however, just started my period again, less than two weeks since the last, and often get a bad tummy then (it's impossible to predict as my periods don't seem to stop right now - perimenopause which I'm taking Red Clover for).
