Medical treatment: C. Difficele colitis is is a build up of abnormal bacteria that irritate the colon and produces a toxin, often occurring after taking an antibiotic. You need medical care and an antibiotic such as Flagyl or vancomycin to treat the infection. Maybe add probiotics or yogurt if it is alright with your doctor.

Probiotics: Take the antibiotic course from your PCP to eliminate this infection. -In general, stay away from all antibiotics since they encourage c. diff infection. -Take a good probiotic like Probonix (2-3 droppers full) daily to prevent future infections -Get 30 min of sunshine at noon daily or vitamin D3 supplement 5000-10,000 IU/day to boost your immunity and speed up recovery
