My mother has had 3 consecutive C. Diff infections. But she is very old and faces a host of other problems, including paralysis. I only heard of these “fecal transplants” with these consecutive infections - haven’t gone that route yet. These C. Diff infections sure are persistent.

The problem with treating the c. diff. infections with antibiotics is that often the antibiotic caused the c. diff infection in the first place.
