Continuing diarrhea: Callthe doctor and let them know you still have diarrhea. usually if it is c diff within 4 -5 days responds significantly to metronidazole. May need vancomycin or fidaxomicin or evaluate for bacterial overgrowth / other organisms/h pylori/ camphylobacter/other factors. Avoid dairy since e brush border enzymes lactase is deficient. Consider probiotic (nexabiotic) f/u w/doc
