Asking For Someone else, Sister, Female, 30 Years old, lahore
Aoa Respected gastroenterologist! My sister done endoscopy and colonoscopy for stomach issue , endoscopy came normal no any ulcer but biopsy showed h pylori she did 6 weeks of antibiotics course, thn cured, but after that she suffering from diarrhoea abdominal pain doctor thinks maybe it’s c diff , because she took too many antibiotics, Soo now she is again going for colonoscopy for checking c diff because here in lahore only one test For c diff , C diff toxin stool test, And dr say it has possiblity it comes false sometimes , only colonoscopy or ct scan can confirm This disease , dr is h pylori really cause c diff ? she won’t do colonoscopy again any other test which never come false ?
h.pylori don't cause c diff but antibiotics can cause it.
C. Diff is cultured on biopsy soeicemen and it is diagnostic
H. Pylori don't cause c. Diff
If u need more info kindly book a consultation of feasibke for u

Here the main point is this, that for H.pylori presence I prefer urea breath test(UBT) then other lab findings. You do it for your patient and then share me the report. After that I may suggest you.
