Asked By:gingerviking in Saskatchewan, Canada

I'm almost 4 weeks post op and had take clindamycin post surgically. Starting about a week ago I had what I thought was food poisoning and my family physician is testing me for C.Diff. Is there an increased chance capsular contractions or other complications from this infection? I haven't had any other complications so far.
