Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I understand your problem. Drug which will help against clostridium difficile is metronidazole/vancomycin.
My opinion is you have recurrent episodes of diarrhea so you should go for Stool culture and sensitivity for antibiotics and start the treatment accordingly.
