6. Weight Loss

Everyone encounters weight loss at least once in their lifetime due to reasons that are either intentional or unintentional. Some people go through different weight loss programs that require physical activities and strict dietary restrictions while others rapidly lose weight due to some health risks or medical conditions.

Another sign of C. diff infection is sudden weight loss as a result of diarrhea. When there is a quick bowel movement, the body lacks time to absorb the nutrients resulting in weight loss. C. diff may also cause loss of appetite due to stomach aches and abdominal cramps which further contributes to the weight loss.
