Find Relief from Persistent Diarrhoea and Digestive Discomfort
When your digestive system isn’t working properly, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. The constant worry about symptoms, the disruption to your daily life, and the uncertainty about what’s causing your discomfort can take a significant toll. At Oracle Genomics, we understand how distressing persistent diarrhoea and abdominal pain can be, especially when they follow antibiotic treatment. Our C. Difficile Toxin A, B and GDH Stool Test provides the clarity and answers you need to move forward with confidence.
Understanding Your C. Difficile Test
This comprehensive stool test specifically detects the presence of C. difficile toxins A and B, along with the GDH antigen. C. difficile is a bacterium that can overgrow in your gut, particularly after antibiotic use, and produce toxins that damage your intestinal lining. Our advanced immunochromatography method ensures highly accurate detection, giving you reliable results you can trust for making informed health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent watery diarrhoea lasting more than 2 days
- Abdominal cramping or pain that doesn’t resolve
- Recent antibiotic use (within the past 2 months)
- Fever accompanied by digestive symptoms
- Nausea and loss of appetite with bowel changes
- Recent hospitalisation or healthcare facility exposure
Many South Africans who’ve taken antibiotics for common infections find themselves dealing with these uncomfortable symptoms weeks later. Early testing can prevent the condition from worsening and help you get back to feeling like yourself again.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested early provides significant benefits:
- Prevent Complications: Untreated C. difficile can lead to severe dehydration, kidney problems, or toxic megacolon
- Targeted Treatment: Accurate diagnosis means you receive the right medication, not unnecessary antibiotics
- Peace of Mind: Knowing the cause of your symptoms reduces anxiety and uncertainty
- Faster Recovery: Early treatment typically leads to quicker resolution of symptoms
- Prevent Spread: Proper diagnosis helps prevent transmission to family members
Understanding Your Test Results
We make understanding your results straightforward and reassuring:
- Positive Result: Indicates active C. difficile infection requiring specific treatment – we’ll provide clear next steps
- Negative Result: Rules out C. difficile as the cause of your symptoms, allowing investigation of other possibilities
- Equivocal Result: Rare cases may need follow-up testing – we guide you through the process
Our healthcare professionals are available to explain your results in plain language and answer any questions you may have about treatment options and recovery expectations.
