@joanns21 According to a world renound infectious disease doctor Vancomycim only gives a false negative. It does slow it down but it does not cure C-Diff. Word seems to spread much to slow to be of much help. When a person takes certain types of Antibiotics either by IV or pill form, C-Diff is often the outcome.

There is a newer antibiotic, Fidaximicin that works only in the intestine and is not absorbed nto the bloodstream, That, in combination with Florastor probiotic ( contains a yeast that helps flush out the Cdiff and is not killed by the antibiotic) seems to be very effective. My husband is doing well. We will see what happens over the next few weeks. The Fidax stopped the diarrhea in 2 days!
