Difficile Colitis

What is C. Difficile Colitis?

According to experts, C. difficile colitis is an infection that is caused by a type of bacteria called Clostridium difficile. C. difficile colitis can vary in severity; in some cases, it causes a bout of diarrhea, but sometimes, it can lead to a serious colon infection, which can be life-threatening.

Symptoms of C. Difficile Colitis

C. difficile colitis can cause a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. Typically, symptoms begin five to 10 days after a person starts using an antibiotic medication, but they can appear as soon as a day after, or as long as two months after beginning an antibiotic.

In mild to moderate cases, C. difficile colitis symptoms include the following:

Mild abdominal cramps
Tenderness in the abdomen
Watery diarrhea at least three times per day for two or more days

In severe cases, symptoms of C. difficile colitis include:

Severe pain and cramping in the abdomen
Elevated heart rate
Watery diarrhea occurring as many as 10-15 times daily
Blood or pus in the stool
Lack of appetite
Fever
Nausea
Dehydration
Weight loss
Swelling in the abdomen
Elevated white blood cell count
C. difficile colitis can even cause life-threatening complications, such as kidney failure, enlarged colon, severe intestinal inflammation, and sepsis.

Causes of C. Difficile Colitis

There are several potential causes of C. difficile colitis, but one common cause of this condition is antibiotic use. When a person uses antibiotics, these medications kill some of the healthy bacteria found in the body, which can cause C. difficile to grow quickly.

Other risk factors for C. difficile colitis include:

Staying in a healthcare facility, such as a hospital or nursing home
Having abdominal surgery
Having a weakened immune system
Having serious medical conditions like colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease
Being age 65 or older
Having had C. difficile colitis in the past
How is C. Difficile Colitis Treated?

If you think you may have C. difficile colitis, it is important to seek treatment, because this condition can cause complications such as kidney failure, bowel perforation, and even death if left untreated.

The first part of treatment for C. difficile colitis is to stop taking the antibiotic that triggered the infection. While it may seem counterintuitive, treatment for C. difficile colitis usually involves taking another antibiotic.

In severe cases of C. difficile colitis, surgery may be necessary to remove the unhealthy portion of the colon. If C. difficile colitis is recurring, a doctor may perform a procedure called fecal microbiota transplant, in which stool from a healthy donor is implanted in an infected colon.

Treatment is important to prevent complications from C. difficile colitis, so you should seek medical care promptly if you have had watery diarrhea three or more times per day for two days or symptoms like bloody stool or severe abdominal cramping.

Applicable Procedures

Colonoscopy

Can you die from C. difficile colitis?

In some cases, C. difficile colitis is mild and causes a quick bout of diarrhea. Other times, it is severe and can cause life-threatening complications like kidney failure, enlarged colon, or sepsis.

Is treatment necessary for C. difficile colitis?

Since C. difficile colitis can lead to life threatening complications in some cases, it is important to seek treatment if you think you have symptoms of this condition. If you have had watery diarrhea for two days, you should seek medical care as soon as possible.

How is C. difficile colitis treated?

The first line of treatment for C. difficile colitis is typically an antibiotic. If symptoms are serious, you may need surgery to remove part of the colon, or a fecal microbiota transplant, in which you receive stool from a healthy donor to be implanted into your colon.

Common Symptoms

“I had watery diarrhea multiple times per day for days on end.”
“About a week after taking an antibiotic for an ear infection, I noticed that my stomach was tender, and I started to have diarrhea repeatedly throughout the day.”
“After I went through a course of antibiotics, I suddenly developed severe cramps and stomach pain, and I was having diarrhea hourly throughout the day.”

Tania B.

I received a call 5 days prior to my appointment that I was responsible for 800 dollars for EGD procedure that was due the next day. I had this appointment for over a month before. This gave me little time to research the procedure with my insurance and personal doctor..My actual visit to the office was great. Staff was kind and helpful. Dr. Donat is a great Dr. Disappointed in the billing information.

rene V.

Dr Weber has been my G.I. doctor for 24 years. He always listens and pays attention and he has such a genuine bedside manner with his patients. It’s so nice to see a doctor listen to you and not just stare at a computer but actually talk directly to you. Means so much.

Teri S.

Dr. Willie is very thorough and never rushed when seeing my Mother. We are very happy with his office and Dr. Willie.

OMG!!! What a fabulous experience for an unpleasant procedure (seriously, the prep for the colonoscopy is the unpleasant part). EVERYONE working there, from reception to nurses, assistants and the doctor were kind and friendly and really professional. This was my 3rd colonoscopy, but this center was the best facility by far. I highly recommend the Center for Digestive Health in Troy, Michigan. Thanks for the great experience!

Another event end of year 2025 that sent me to the ER & needed a follow up with Dr Wille.
I again highly recommend Dr Wille. He cares, he's patient & thorough. I cannot express enough how wonderful Reneshia (nurse in scheduling) was. This event was extremely difficult for me & she calmed & reassured me all would be well. Thank you for having her in your practice!

Joseph and Darlene B.

I was early for my appointment & the Staff & Dr couldn't have been more friendly, accomodating & efficient at getting me seen & on my way home!!
Thank you to everyone!

Emily B.

My doctor is awesome. I refuse to put his name on a bad review. Over the years, the staff just keeps getting worse and worse. I was supposed to schedule an EGD for my continuous nausea and vomiting, but it turns out I had an outstanding bill that already went to collections. Admittedly, I do not open my mail, but anytime I visit, I ask if I have an open balance, because I'd pay. I asked back in November, when I had a colonoscopy, if I had a balance at the time. The answer was NO, $0 balance. When I went to schedule they said because my deductible is not met, the procedure would be $680 without biopsies and I'd have to pay my previous balance of $500 that they already sent to collections, and then $300 up front for the EGD. My deductible is only $500. I'm incredibly confused. So I've now paid off my balance to the debt collector, but can't afford to get my procedure. Had they told me I had a bill-back in November-I'd have been able to get help now.
I'll still return to see my doctor because I don't hold him responsible for the incompetency of his staff.
Furthermore, why couldn't I just start paying my balance on the new ridiculous bill you were going to charge, which I don't think is fully accurate? Instead I paid off the $432 to collections because I HAD to, they say, before they can schedule me. The outstanding bill, btw, was from Pinnacle anesthesia because apparently anesthesia is not covered for an endoscopic procedure. Weird. I guess I could schedule my endoscopy and we can talk about me staying awake for it? Does that get me a discount?!?

Then, THEN, I call the collections company and I paid my full balance they gave me, but THEN the office says the billing company got the number wrong and I still owe $107 after paying over $400. Again, I HAVE to pay the debt they already sold to collections before they will help. Their mistake is preventing me from getting help. And the collections agency doesn't know what I owe. I'm being held captive by the incompetency of this billing team. I called Monday and still waiting on a call back. It's Friday.

This has happened to me before here, and I paid the bill off at once then too. I actually offer copays, check my balance ANYTIME I've been in the office. Just because you guys are awful at your job and don't bill properly or timely doesn't mean I should have to suffer.

Holding me captive over a balance in collections that I paid on 8/06, per my credit receipt.

When I asked about my balance in person at my colonoscopy, remember it was $0. I have not been seen since. Yet my bills are from prior to that!

Seriously too, they could've told me my balance before my tele health visit with my doctor. Or the 4 times I scheduled a telehealth this year and got canceled on multiple times by you guys. At ANY point you could have let me know my balance. I also could have opened my mail- I get it- but you could also just be competent at your JOB. I don't get paid for opening my mail. You are getting paid to do your job right.

Dr. Nandi- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Office staff- 🌪
*Update: Rescheduled at their other office although it was after I already figured out my own problem and got it under control myself. Had the endoscopy at Macomb anyway, and it went really smooth. Dr. Nandi is so understanding, and listened when I explained I think I was having a reaction to a medication I was taking. He is honestly great enough to deal with a couple bad apple staff members. Most of the team is great.

Honestly, I don't even entirely blame the billing staff- I blame their system. The people were nice enough, they just don't know how to get everything figured out due to too many hands in the pot. Just be cautious.

Anne R.

Our first visit with Dr Wille was a good one. He is pleasant, reassuring and calming. Gave us good advise. Staff was very helpful

Douglas

Excellent medical staff

Mia D.

I Really feel a deep sense of peace and trust in Dr Richard Willie. He knows first of all how to interact with his patients, listens carefully to them, and makes them feel important. Have been going to him at least 15 years, if not more. He is an astute observer, a fine doctor with honed in skills of lab interpretation, biopsy results, and well experienced in advising what’s best for the patients outcome. I couldn’t be in better hand with Dr Wille. I’m very fortunate to have him in my corner as a doctor who has both the training and wisdom to give me the best care now and for the future!

Theresa O.

As a new patient, I found everyone helpful, knowledgeable and kind. 😊

Nancy T.

Doctor Willie was right on time and very helpful. Great physician. We need more doctors like Doc Willie. Awesome.

Very nice and pleasant doctor. Didn't have to wait, my appointment was on time.

robyn G.

Love Dr Balonga and Margaret!

Russell M.

Information regarding the prep for this procedure was provided many weeks in advance. The details were extremely helpful.

Upon arrival at the clinic, my paperwork was processed very quickly, and I was guided into the exam room for preparation.

The staff members were friendly and professional. I am very grateful to all of them and especially to Dr. Donat for his expertise.

In addition, the results of my colonoscopy were provided within 24 hours.

Doris H.

Dr. A. Bakien was absolutely awesome as always, she study my files before entering the room.

Evie R.

I liked the location. My Primary Care, Dr. Buchanan is located in the same bldg. An easy trip to get to! I was assisted right away and the PA was most pleasant and very easy to talk to. She listened well. Asked great questions and made some suggestions. She recommended requesting a couple of tests to help diagnose my situation. I felt she did a throughal job of listening and answering my concerns and thoughts.

Dawn N.

Hi I have been a patient of Center for Digestive Health since I was in my mid 20's. I am now in my late 40's now.. I have seen Dr.Donat and a few of the other Dr's in the practice. Dr. Donat has been my primary person. He has been amazing. My problems have been complicated and challenging. I know I have caused him head scratching moments of wondering what the heck is wrong. Yet all thru it his bedside manner has been amazing kind he answers all my questions. He never makes you feel uncomfortable or unimportant. If you have GI issues or need GI help. Go see him. Or anyone of the other staff. The office staff is amazing as well his Medical Assistant Sarah is so thoughtful. Thank you everyone at The Center For Digestive Health For Making what could be an uncomfortable time less difficult.

Lori L.

Everything and everyone was terrific!

Jaden D.

I have had really bad experiences with Gastroenterologists in the past due to my history with bulimia nervosa. I have complications from years of my illness, and have been turned down by Gastros in the past or them downplaying my symptoms. I was really anxious going into this appt with Dr. Richard Wille, however I had the best experience ever! He listened to me, didnt make me feel bad about my history, and developed a plan to figure out what's going on. I never make reviews, however, I am just so grateful to have found a doctor who actually cares and listens to their patients. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a gastroenterologist!

Tom S.

My visit with Dr Donot was a follow up visit after a procedure and fortunately there was not a lot to talk about but the Doctor asked all the questions and made sure anything I needed was answered. Great visit.

Andrew D.

Swift and detailed response to questions, and remarkable service and aids.

She listened, she was knowledgable, addressed all my concerns, explained thinhgs very clearly, and has wondeful interpersonal skills. After my visit I felt mcuh more at ease about my condition and the remedies for it.

Ms. J.

I am pleased with my new Gastroenterologist. Dr. Saeed was wonderful. The staff was great. I was seen with no waiting time. Everyone I came in contact with was super efficient and professional. The Doc did not rush me and understood me very well. I am in good hands. My former Gastro was the absolute best and I was worried I could not replace him. Thank goodness I found Troy Digestive Health. All is well!

Tom S.

I was weighed and the taken to an exam room promptly where BP and temp were taken. Dr. Wille came in shortly after and I was on my way home 20 minutes after my appointment time. Dr. Wille explained test results, discussed my situation, and ordered additional testing, and did not rush me at all.

Edward B.

Very caring staff.
Very efficient service with full summary following the visit.

Tom G.

I would like to sincerely thank you for the excellent care I received during my recent colonoscopy. From start to finish, the professionalism, kindness, and clear communication helped put me at ease and made the entire experience much more comfortable than I expected.

I truly appreciate your attention to detail and compassionate approach, and I would not hesitate to recommend your practice to others seeking high-quality care.

Thank you again for everything you do.

Kim B.

The ease of going there compared to a hospital there’s no comparison. The nurse I had was totally amazing. I had a horrible experience with the I’ve cath at hospital 6 times trying kept blowing veins. At the center for digestive health my nurse understood that and talked me down with doing what she needed to do and got the vein on first try. I will definately be doing all possible procedures here.

Ernie D.

The staff here are helpful and knowledgeable. They make you feel so comfortable. Dr. Webber and his staff are the best !!!

Denise K.

I changed to Dr Willy because I wasn't getting any progress from my previous Dr. Things aren't going any differently here. He wants to schedule more tests that I've already had on more than one occasion. I had 17 ERCPs in 3 years with my previous DR. and now he wants another. I did the colonoscopy and EUS 2 years ago with Dr Willey. He said to make sure he didn't miss anything. If he missed something I don't want him as my Dr.!

Chris F.

If it is possible to say, I had a great experience with the entire team when I had my procedure. Due to a bad experience in the past at another medical facility I was terrified to have anything done, but from start to finish they all treated me with kindness, caring, and complete professionalism that made me extremely comfortable both during and after the entire process. I highly recommend!

Patricia B.

Dr. Weber and his staff were very professional. They took wonderful care of me. Nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. I would highly recommend them.

Rob E.

Had my first meeting with center for Digestive health, and was very pleased. Staff and Doctor were very professional. Dr listeed to my issues, and I was very happy with the plan we laid out to deal with ongoing abdominal pain issue.

Gary

Right on my appointment time, no waiting, a very good experience all around.

N K.

Dr. Richard T. Wille, MD He’s amazing doctor. Explain everything well., And all staff front and medical assistant are great and helpful
Highly recommend this office .

Shauna P.

Jennifer at Dr Webers office was friendly, and completely honest and explained to me what my different options were. I have been with this group for at least 12 years, and I have never been disappointed

Mark P.

All of the Staff and the Doctor working at the office were very nice. The doctor understood my concern about My Bi Polar meds because of the reaction I had during my recent heart bypass surgery and the time it took to get back to normal again. The doctor came up with several solutions to my fear of having to get the Anastasia while taking my Bi polar meds and suggested a few other solutions to the the Anastasia. The doctor was great in understanding of my fear of going under Anastasia.

Carrie V.

Quick, efficient and pleasant

Pamela J.

Very professional and pleasant experience.

Donna P.

The two nurses I had were great. Very friendly

Christine F.

The staff is friendly and professional, two words that don't normally go together but here they do. They kept me advised of my wait time. Kept checking to see if I was comfortable and after my procedure made sure that I was comfortable to go home. I was not rushed , overall great experience.

Marsha D.

When an appointment is needed I can always get in to see someone in a reasonable time. When the appointment is with the PA I know they will consult with Dr. Wille. Dr. Wille will be available for a follow up appointment in a timely manner if needed.
The front office staff and scheduling staff are always pleasant.

Beth S.

I had a colonoscopy with Dr. Bakken. She was fantastic. From my arrival to when I left the rest of the staff was also fantastic and professional. They made me feel at ease and the whole process went very smooth. I will definitely be going back for my next one in 5 years and would not hesitate to recommend this practice to others!

George K.

I had a procedure this morning with Dr. Nandi at the Surgical Centers of Michigan located on Investment Drive. Dr. Nandi as always was the most professional and caring doctor that I have encountered.
But, what impressed me was the staff in the office. The TEAM (receptionist, the nurse who checked me and made me ready for the procedure, Anesthesiologist and nurse in the procedure room, the recovery room nurse, the PA who called me later in the day to check-up on me) showed me such care and compassion. It made me feel as if I was the most important patient that they would encounter.
It is obvious that these professionals love what they are doing. They love helping others. That made all the difference to me.
Thank you.

Tina R.

Nurses and staff are very nice and efficient. Facilities are wonderful. The procedure was fast and no problems at all. Thank you

Megan A.

Great staff, very prompt and attentive. I’d highly recommend Dr. Weber and his team!

Connie Z.

Everyone in the office is nice and helpful

Lasergage

Great care from start to finish.

Tina B.

Dr Webber is absolutely the kindest Dr I've ever been a patient of.
I can imagine that the medical profession is very demanding and I've been in offices where the Dr's have been short and barely stay in the room 2 minutes and I'm left with more questions than I walked in with but not with Dr Webber, I was the last appointment of the day and I'm sure he was ready for his day to be over but he stayed in there and answered every question that I had and was so kind and caring.
I highly recommend Dr Weber and his staff which were also completely amazing.
Thank you for showing that you actually care about your patients.

Bob P.

Dr. Weber is excellent. Personable and friendly. His staff is reflects his caring.

The entire staff was friendly and very professional. Dr. Nandi is exceptional. The steps in the procedure were explained both before and after. A+ I went in with a pretty high level of anxiety.

William H.

I have gerd related post nasal drip. I was down for nearly 5 weeks. Dr Nandi was able to meet me via telephone and the very next day he scheduled a endoscopy. He changed my medication which I have been taking for the last 4 days. Have found significant relief from my symptoms. Although the post nasal drip still continues albeit with less intensity.

My wife was recently in the hospital. The ER determined she had diverticulitis. The CDH doctors took very good care of her. We had a post hospital visit that went well.

The staff was great. They were pleasant. My procedure was swift. I even had a nurse walk me out to the car.

Dr. Abadir was very nice and thorough. He cares about his patients and will do what is necessary to resolve your health issues. We have been to the Romeo plank office which was very clean.The only thing is when you are greeted they are nice and thorough but need to smile. 🙂

R L.

The office was nice enough to call me to arrive earlier than my appointment time as there were cancellations. The staff and Dr. Bakken were warm and friendly. They made me feel comfortable as this was my first time at their office. It was nice to have your own private recovery room and to receive a warm gown and blanket as it gets cold in doctors offices.

Stephen S.

The center is run efficiently with well trained staff.

Tarey T.

The only issue is that the communication manager does not handle comms well in either direction. But the center, its doctors etc
are worth even that.

FAQs

What happens during my first visit?

If you are a new patient, you can expect to have a complete physical exam. You will also be asked detailed questions about your current problems and your past medical history, your current medications, allergies, your family history and other pertinent medical information. If you are taking medications, please bring a completed medical history form with you to your appointment. Once the physician has reviewed your medical information and completed the physical examination, a plan of care will be developed. You may need to be seen again in the office, be referred back to your family physician for follow-up care, or require additional testing. If additional tests are needed, we will assist you in scheduling these tests.

What if I need to schedule an endoscopic procedure?

An endoscopic procedure allows the physician to visualize a part of your gastrointestinal tract with a special instrument called an endoscope. If your family physician has ordered testing, you will be contacted by telephone by one of our staff members. If a physician orders testing and you are in the office, the procedure can generally be scheduled during the course of your visit. You will be given a date, time, and location for the test, as well as written instructions telling you how to prepare for the test. If you have any questions about the procedure, please feel free to ask one of our staff members or the physician.

How do I get test results?

We ask that you wait 10 to 14 days before contacting us for results. Often results come from several different sources. This information needs to be compiled and reviewed by your physician before you can be appropriately advised.

What insurances do you accept?

We accept payment from most insurance companies including Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Physicians Health Plan, Cofinity, Sparrow Professional Health Network, Medicaid, McLaren, Health Plus, and several others. Accepted insurances are subject to change at any time without notice.

If your insurance requires an authorization from your primary care physician, you may be asked to assist us in obtaining this authorization.

All patients are responsible for all copays and deductibles at the time of service.

If you have any questions regarding your benefits or insurance coverage, please contact our Billing Department at 248-844-9710.

What if I need to contact the doctor?

To contact your doctor during business hours please call our main number 248-844-9710. If you have an urgent need to speak with the doctor after hours, you will be rerouted to our after hours answering service, and your doctor will be paged. In the case of a medical emergency please proceed directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.
