C. diff colitis: C. Difficile colitis a serious health issue can be life threatening. When it recurs, there is usually a spore that is not being treated, that becomes the source of regrowth. Okay to ask for an infectious disease consult, a longer course of antibiotic, a stool culture for the c. Diff and possibly a second opinion. Probiotics help establish colonic bacterial environment that keeps the spores at bay
