Wat are the main meds that can cause c diff? can u get c diff without taking meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics/Yes,,,: Antibiotics are the main reason for a c diff infection as c diff is present in your intestines and is relatively harmless unless an antibiotic wipes out other bacteria that compete with it there. Clindamycin among others is a common cause of this. Since it's in your gut and in hospitals it's possible to have at least a mild infection of this without meds. Best of luck.
