My mom tried to teach us ways to stay healthy, but I got c diff infection. Why is that?
In brief:
C. difficile
Other antibiotics are required to get the c. Difficile back under control. Recently, it was reported that long-term use of
proton pump inhibitors for gerd may facilitate c. Difficile.

In brief:
Don't Blame Momma
The colons of some earthlings have
clostridium difficile strains that secrete excessive amounts of toxin.
This toxin is what causes the
colon to become inflammed and results in
diarrhea. You may have picked up one of these strains. The non-toxin producers (already found in your gut) will keep the bad ones in check. (counting on my id colleagues to help - i ran out of letters)!
