Any experiences with C. Diff infection?

Has anyone's DC had a C. Diff infection?  My 3 year old was on an antibiotic for a UTI last week.  Yesterday she started going #2 frequently and sometimes there was just a bloody mucus (tmi, I know) without stool.  She gave a stool sample yesterday and we are waiting on the results but the pedi thinks it might be C. Diff caused by the antibiotic.  She otherwise appears healthy but everything I read online about this is concerning.  Any experiences would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

  • MIl had it around Christmas time. They tried several types of meds and finally found one that helped her. She ate yogurt several times a day and took a supplement trying to build up bacteria again. Now she has to be careful with taking meds. I hope your DD doesn't have it. MIL had stomach pain and frequent bathroom trips.
