B.,
I had c-diff several times or a few years. Sometimes they think it is gone and it is not. The question I have is WHY is your child getting this. The reason a body develops this is because all of the good bacteria is gone from the bowels allowing bad bacteria to flourish. This is usually caused by being on strong antibiotics or long term antibiotic use. I was usually given Flagyl for C-Diff. This is a HIGHLY contagious infection. When I had it I always used a seperate bathroom than my husband and we had to make sure it was cleaned every other day. Also make sure you wash your hands and the childs hand VERY good. You need to get a good child gastroenterologist. Recurring C-diff is not good, it is very hard on your body and be painful. I am so sorry your little one is going through this, I have been there! Also, watch for dehydration. You body is not absorbing foods as well because of the C-Diff and dehydration is very possible. Get a referral from your family doc to a gastro for him. I suggest using Nemours Clinic in downtown Orlando, if you are in Central Florida. Oh yeah, if your child will eat it you need to get some yogurt. You need to get that good bacteria back into the body.
