c. diff test result

[redbird]

I just heard through MyChart that C. difficile was not detected in this stool sample.

The test says "with reflex to toxin B," but I just got email from Quest saying that my test results are complete. The wikipedia article on C. diff describes the toxin as "very potent and lethal," which suggests to me both that it's worth checking, and that the test for that toxin will almost certainly be negative.

So, I have some information, and I should call the doctor's office and ask what comes next. I have an already-scheduled telemedicine appointment next Tuesday, so the answer may be that we'll talk then.
