Not really: Might consider probiotics. Discuss with your doctor.

Yes: An alternative is fecal transplantation. Fda approval is required currently but likely a gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist in your area may be able to help with this.

See your MD : Fidaxomicin/ Dificid (fidaxomicin) is an effective but very expensive alternative treatment. Dark urine and chest pain which you list as symptoms are not signs of c. Difficile diarrhea and can indicate a serious problem. See your doctor immediately.
