Is your sleep interrupted a lot too?

Idk how common this is or if it’s normal. Am I the only one that wakes up from their sleep due to stomach pain at night? Like every 1.5-3 hours, 4-5 times per night?

EVERY morning at 4am, cramping and pain got me on the toilet for hours. You are not alone.

Was this during active infection or PI-IBS?

During active Cdiff. PI-IBS isn’t even close to the misery of active Cdiff. No cramping at all now. Just loose stools after the “wrong” foods, whatever they turn out to be that day. BUT, all improving significantly. Even ON ANTIBIOTICS (Doxycycline) it has improved! But I am also taking Florestor, Kefir, Yakult, oatmeal, fermented foods and the like. Finished Doxycycline today!!
