Thank you for this video. My Father died from C Diff on the 29th of October 2011. He went into the hospital with an infection in his lungs, and then developed C Diff. If you do read up on C Diff. You will find that it because of unsanitary conditions in the hospital. Regualr "Bleach" will kill C Diff. If the hospitals began using bleach to clean with this could be stopped.. My best friend and Father is dead because of a lack of knowledge by those who think they are Gods!

For anyone going through this,
I wish you all the best!! I would not wish this on even my worst enemy!! (if i had one). And I am hoping that the pain goes away soon.
This whole thing has been just AWFUL :(

I took ciprofloxacin and Flagyl for a "flu",for a week. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and am waiting for a colonoscopy, so when my diarrhea and pain only got worse, I assumed it was due to whatever the colonoscopy was scheduled for.. After 4 days home in bed with immense pressure/pain,I went to hospital. Catscan showed a"red raw"colon and i tested + for C.Diff infection. Spent 4 days in hospital. I am home now recovering,and back on those same antibiotics(?!?). Worst experience ever in my life!

Thank you so much for this video! I am so sorry about your mother-in-law! I am also battling this awful condition. I am furious that medical personnel don't make you aware of this possibility with the use of antibiotics. I am trying to let everyone I know about this bug. I just posted a blog on a site I frequent, and I am on my soapbox til I think people are sick of hearing about it! There are some horrible stories out there from c diff sufferers - and the situation is getting worse.

wow thank u for the video! i found it from wiki i think, but my family member is just prescribed clindamycin, we dont want them to take it, but they have a bad infection, well at least we know what to watch out for! im so sorry about your mother in law :(

there's a new treatment out that works, but a lot of people would find it a gross treatment. It involves using fecal matter from a donor and introducing it into the bowel of those suffering from c diff. Yes it is icky and sounds gross but it works! Lives are saved.

@nita1294 Hi Nita! Oh I am so sorry to hear that your husband has this. It is such a miserable thing to go through. I was sick for a good 3 months. I was taking a second round of metronidazole for MANY weeks, and that med made me feel SO sick. It is hard to tolerate. There were times I thought the med was killing me more than the c diff. But finally things got better. VERY IMPORTANT that he take some probiotics!! I recommend Florastor and Culturelle several times a day. DrugstoreCom

hi Mark,
i am Deborah my mother as died with difficile with the same problem as winifred she went in with UTI on 6th nov and Died 30th nov and i want to sue them but i dont know how to go about it
My mom is in the hospital now with c-diff. She went in a few weeks ago for knee surgery! The doctors now tell us she has to have her colon removed for any chance of survival now! Colostomy bag for 6-months(if she survives surgery) and then-maybe-they can reconstruct her colon. Oh my! We need God's help!
