Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.
You have not mentioned whether a stool test was done and whether C.diff was diagnosed after doing a stool test. Also if a colonoscopy was not done before, you can get it done.
If there is no response to Flagyl, you can consider taking Rifaximin and probiotics for belief.
You can discuss about these medications with your doctor.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar Kini
