Both my wife and I had cdiff. I got it through contact with her. She had it multiple times. And was hospitalized several times. I had it 3 or 4 times. And was treated in the hospital I found out with an online search about cdiff that there's a treatment for it. The hospital that she would go to knew about the treatment. But wouldn't do it. I guess because another hospital developed the treatment in Boston. We decided that she would transfer all her care to the other hospital. She had been through enough already by that point.

The treatment is called a stool transplant. It sounds gross. But it worked for the both of us. They take a stool sample, bring it into a lab. Treat it some how or other. They put it into a gelcap pill. On dry ice. The patient swallows it and within a few days. That sample changes the bad bacteria in your gut to good bacteria in your gut.

There's always a chance that you could get cdiff again from what they told us. But that never happened to us.
