Nutrition: Avoid dehydration with water/fluids, avoid sugar, good balanced eating habits with fruits, vegetables, lean protein, low fat dairy intake. Probiotics such as acidophilus have been recommended. Difficult cases usually respond to a fecal transfer from a family member who does not have C diff. This sounds odd but it seems to work when antibiotics do not.
