Symptom #4: Dehydration
It is essential that we make sure our bodies have all the water that they need. Otherwise, we can fall quite ill, and a prolonged duration with insufficient water can be fatal for us. Fortunately, we usually have access to all the water we need. However, that still does not protect us from dehydration.
C. diff infections can cause diarrhea, and this can cause the body to lose a lot of water. A patient that is feeling ill may also be reluctant to take on fluids, and this can contribute to the condition. The very young, very sick, and very old in particular are vulnerable to dehydration.
