Hi Brie... The most probable cause and main aggravator of your C-diff problem is over-use of antibiotics. So because your doctor is over-prescribing even more antibiotics over the long term for your problem, your problem is therefore bound to get even worse. See these links on something called The Antibiotic Syndrome:
The Antibiotic Syndrome
The End of Antibiotics and the Rise of Iodine as an Effective Alternative
Just do a Google Search on "lugol's iodine kills c-diff" for more info.
What will help destroy the clostridium bacteria is the following:
* Put 4 drops of lugol's iodine into a litre of mineral water and drink this throughout the day outside mealtimes. Do this everyday. It's really up to you how many drops of lugol's iodine you use everyday -- the more the better -- but this will depend on the severity of the die-off and detox reaction that arises from this kind of internal iodine use. Unfortunately iodine is too good -- not only will it kill the c-diff quickly but it will also detox your body and removes dangerous heavy metals, bromide and fluorine from your body which can give significant detox reactions and symptoms. So, in regard to iodine supplementation -- Start Small and Go Slow.
* Take turmeric tablets every day with meals or take the powdered form in green tea. Turmeric is also a c-diff killer. Turmeric is also food.
* Take the recommended dosage of organic aloe vera juice several times a day outside mealtimes. This will help to heal the intestines and should help to greatly reduce the pain.
* Take a 1/4 tspn Bentonite clay, twice a day, in a half glass of water outside mealtimes as recommended. Adding psyllium husks to the Bentonite drink will also help. Bentonite works because its particles have a negative charge which attracts all positively charged toxins, heavy metals, pathogens etc and helps to remove them safely and naturally from the body. This is a gentle protocol that is quite safe with few side-effects.
The above protocols will help to kill the C-Diff quickly and will also remove and neutralize the intestinal toxins and will help to heal your intestines naturally.
You also say you have a problem with your stomach. This isn't much to go on but could mean possible associated problems with H pylori. So best to get tested for H pylori.
The last thing I would do is fire your doctor -- he is definitely clueless about the Antibiotic Syndrome and his recommendations are not helping you. You should see a naturopath instead -- naturopaths are much more knowledgeable and sympathetic towards problems caused by gut dysbiosis and they also understand and more fully appreciate the Antibiotic Syndrome and how it arises.
