Yeah.. We thought he might have had C-Diff at one point, but the cultures came back negative.

All I can advise for folks is that if their loved ones are undergoing anti-biotic treatment they should augment with probiotics. Doctors don't necessarily believe in them, but they generally will not prevent family members from providing them.

I wish we had done that from day one and I'll regret not having done so for the rest of my life. I think they would have definitely proven beneficial to keeping his GI tract functioning while on the antibiotics. But I'm not a doctor and shouldn't be expected to know these things.
