As someone who is colonized with c.diff but not active. is it safe to eat garlic? ive mostly avoided because ive heard it can cause relapse.

Garlic: There are as well reports claiming that use of garlic or garlic extract helped in clearing infection eventually. Otherwise I do not see how using garlic in moderation may significantly affect bowel's flora in order to cause a C diff relapse.
