What is c defile?
C. Difficile is a species of bacteria. Its full name is Clostridium Difficile. This bug is responsible for a lot of hospital acquired gastrointestinal infections(usually diarrheal infections that can range from mild to bloody and very painful). C. Diff infections often occur in patients who are on strong antibiotics that kill off the normal flora of the gut (the regular bacteria that live in your small intestine/colon and help to digest/defend from other infections). A complication of a c. diff infection is pseudomembranous colitis, a condition where a membrane forms over the lumen(inner lining) of the colon. Treatment for c. diff includes stopping the antibiotics that killed off the normal flora, and adding antibiotics such as metronidazole or vancomycin which are good at killing of c. diff.

Has anyone taken a medication called Dificid for a C diff infection Did it cure you?
One answer is not sufficient to know how effective Dificid is. I just took my last pill. Praying C-diff does not come back as it has with the three previous medications that I took. I will report back in a couple of months as to whether or not my C-diff reoccurred after taking C-diff. The Dificid cost me $1,560 with Medicare. It is a shame that medications in the US are so expensive that you have to decide what you can live without in order to pay for your medication :-(
