A member asked:
What is the life expectancy of someone with c-dif colitis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Should be normal...: Once treated with the appropriate antibiotics and healed. Rarely recurs and needs more antibiotics. Even more rarely, very severe cases will require emergency colon removal surgery.

Normal: If treated expeditiously and appropriately, c-diff colitis would not affect one's life expectancy.
