Glad you are OK. I am not your internist (/IANAL disclaimer) and I usually don't comment in HN medical threads as weird opinions here, but reading HN taking a break from my work, I'll say generally unless you have some reason like a recent dental procedure to have gotten it depending on your age I'd ask to get a (non urgent) colonoscopy or at least MR enterography or at least consideration of it with a reason why not with someone who knows the particulars of your case and can give you real medical advice.

CT has limited ability to pick up GI malignancy that can lead to translocation of bacteria from colon. If you had something like an autoimmune colitis that lead to translocation you would need to get treated and not all have preceding symptoms.

I am also not your internist but wanted to upvote and second this comment. Op mentions being 29 years old, but should have a gi tract evaluation. Not necessarily now when dealing with the bacteremia but should be discussed.

Great ideas, I will ask about these in the follow-up with infection disease.

For sure. I hope it shows nothing and it is a one off but would not want to miss something that needs treatment or predisposes you to recurrence. Take care!

Thank you for saying this! A loved down was “in the clear” for some stuff. Unfortunately not so clear.
