I think they did originally say that. I remember accepting this when I was moderating a day or two ago.

Is that like ulcerative colitis?

No, they are completely unrelated. Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease while C difficile colitis is infectious.

Hope OP took DocB's advice, and will live. If it's C diff, OP and family/friends will have to learn how to sanitize properly and adjust activities (eg, food prep) to avoid passing this dangerous infection. Best of luck, OP.

Doc, I was curious if you knew about colonic inertia? I don't use the web version so I don't get private messages, so I thought I'd just ask here

I see you talking but all I can hear is bullshit spewing forth like a phony geyser of false information and hippy tree-huggery. I mean, seriously? Just...? Y'know what, this isn't my job. I'll just let DocBastard do this, it's his job.

Can you actually back that up with scientific research instead of quoting your local pro-hemp magazine? Nothing pisses me off more than conspiracy theories.

Nice, kdbb. Exploit sufferers of a terrible disease just to push your pro-weed agenda. Yeah, real nice. Go back to your mom's basement, light up, and keep sucking that shit into your empty skull. Or I dunno, get a life and drop the paranoid ramblings. One of the side-effects of marijuana is paranoia, don'cha know?

Yeah kdbb, it's all a big conspiracy to keep people sick and make money. The doctors want to keep you like that or else we'd all be unemployed. The truth is that you can cure cancer by sucking on pine needles and drinking tea. Heart attack? Eat a salad. Dumbass.

ya I'm really paranoid, that the government puts people in cages for using a harmless medicine like cannabis. 0 deaths ever caused but we must still force this silly prohibition that was brought on as a race war by Harry Aslinger in the 1930s. since you grown up with this mind set, anything pro cannabis must be horrible? I'm a hard working tax payer. I just hate to see my money going to fight a war that shouldn't be fought. I own a house, two vehicles, and I own my own greenhouse at the age of 20, so to say I'm a couch dwelling retard on society, is simply not the case. I'm not citing sources, I really don't care if you want to keep downing your pharma pills. the reason it's difficult to find an authenticated study about cannabis is because the us governemnt won't give out any permits to study the substance. they already know of it's great value and don't want to release this info because they are bought and paid for by big pharma. Rick Simpson, a proud Canadian discovered hemp oil and has healed many people with his cure. if I had cancer, id sure rather try a natural cure first before I destroy my body with radiation and chemotherapy.

94- My dad tried homeopathic remedies for his cancer. All that shit is a bunch of bull. Surgery, Chemo, radiation, and Ativan kept him alive for 3 years even though he had a malignant stage 4 brain cancer and was only supposed to live 9 months after diagnosis. He got better 3 times but the CANCER (not the chemo or radiation, dumbass) took him. I bet you haven't even researched at all about chemo and radiation.

Kdbb--your rant is pathetic and frankly, really stupid. You honestly think "big pharma" keeps people sick instead of...oh, I dunno, sickness? Strides have been made to irradicate smallpox, polio, and countless other diseases BECAUSE of pharmaceuticals. Don't like it, don't take it. But mindless conspiracy theories are mind-numbingly vapid.
