A member asked:

Are there any good foods that have probiotics in them or good bacteria to help with c. diff.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Foods for c.diff: Some brands of kefir (buttermilk) and some brands of milk have lactobacilli as well as some yogurt brands such as activia. The problem is that those bacteria are in low numbers and you may get more diarrhea from the dairy, so i would still consider commercial probiotic supplement.
