I got C Diff, and boy did that suck, incredible cramps and bathroom runs every 30 minutes. It kicked in, while I was traveling, 3 weeks after a course of a strong antibiotics. When I got home the gastroenterologist couldn’t see me for a week. So I bought the mother mode of probiotics and felt totally sumptom free 2 days later. Thank you VSL3, the probiotic I took. Doc said 60% of his C Diff patients got it from antibiotics. But no one prescribes pro biotics.
