Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The inflammatory diarrhea will be defined if 1) positive for C. difficile toxin or 2) stool WBC more than 5/HPF or 3) inflammatory mucosa or ulceration noted on colonoscopy.
The noninflammatory diarrhea will be defined if 1)negative for C. difficile toxin and 2) no WBC on stool examination and 3) dramatic response to diet adjustment or 4) no mucosal inflammation or ulceration if colonoscopy is performed
The patients who do not respond to diet modification, but do not undergo colonoscopy will be excluded because the definite diagnosis cannot be made.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Nosocomial diarrhea
Patients who are hospitalized and develop diarrhea after 72 hours of hospitalization.
Fecal calprotectin
Fecal calprotectin is a protein found in human neutrophils, and it is released during active periods of inflammation of intestine. The sensitivity and specificity has been reported at 93% and 96%, respectively in differentiating inflammatory bowel disease from irritable bowel syndrome in outpatient setting.
