Hi,
I was just looking for the terminology for c-disf and came across your question. My mom is 85 and had diarrhea off and on for six months. She was hospitalized with extended stomach and diarrhea and eventually diarrhea. You may be right, the anti-biotic may have triggered it as per our hospitals suggestion. She is currently on another anti-biotic for this infection which is highly contagious and usually comes from the stomach. You probably have been to your ped. by now and found this out. I know she is in rehab/isolation right now and it is very, very contagious. We have to wear masks, gloves, booties and aprons. Her coughing could also spread the bacteria. If you look up c-disf. and continue down the sight, you will find the information you are seeking. Sorry about your little nine month old. I do know that it is high risk for children under three, cancer patients or anyone else who has a low immune system. Good luck. Don't let them play around with this.
