Today, we have a 76 year old female with a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes. She presents with diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal discomfort x 2 days. She’s had 12 watery bowel movements in the last 24 hours.

She was treated medically (ceftriaxone and cefpodoxime) for cholecystitis 1 week prior.

She has a past surgical history of appendectomy 30 years prior and lysis of adhesions 10 years prior.

Her physical exam is unremarkable.

Today, we’ll review this patients cause for diarrhea/abdominal pain. We’ll discuss the differential, workup, and treatment.
