A member asked:
How can you prevent yourself form getting c dif?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C. Diff: We don't know all the answers here, but some of the risk factors are use of antibiotics that alter the GI microbiome, often in the setting of other diseases. Avoiding un-needed antibiotics and maintaining a healthy natural flora are your best bets. Probiotics might be part of that, but not fully proven.
