hello b day I'm going to ask a neighboring doctor(because other docs dont want to give it to me )if he can make me a prescription for clostirium difficile, which should I put in the prescription? Which method is the most effective to detect it? and for the analysis of bacteria? and parasites?
thanks in advance.
What tests are the most accurate?

Hi,
There may be other ways by now, but the only way that I'm familiar with for diagnosing C. diff is to use cultures grown from stool samples and check them under the microscope after a few days to see if any C. diff colonies are growing in them. Sometimes it takes two or three attempts before you can get a positive test result. I'm not familiar with general bacteria and parasite screening, but there many labs that offer that service. I have no idea which ones are best, unfortunately. Maybe someone else will know.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
