A member asked:

For cdiff, what is the most effective medication or remedy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends.: If this is initial disease best treatment is Flagyl (metronidazole) if recurrent consider vancomycin or pulsed therapy. Probiotics may have a role. Stool transplant and other antibiotics are an option for difficult to treat disease.

I get menstrual migraines & am in a rural area. Have seen 3 docs who don't know what to do with me anymore. They are angry when a medication/treatment isn't effective. I get upset too, I don't want to be in this much pain but I'm out of options help!
