C diff treatment: Sounds like your doctor is handling this just right. C difficile bacteria vary in their antibiotic sensitivity, i.e. which drug(s) will be effective. When it doesn't respond to a particlar treatment, like vancomycin, other antibiotics are needed. Take the new prescription as directed; check back with your doctor if any continuing concerns or further questions. Good luck!
