C-Diff in children

My grandson (10) has had the stomach flu for 6 days the first day he was brought to the ospital and teated for dehydration twice, diarrhea continued visited Dr was told he would feel better in a couple of days. Last night he started vomiting and diarrhea . It was fowl smelling and green . Both the vomit and the diarrhea. He is also experiencing abdominal pain. He is currently back in hospital lost 5 lbs. and is suspected of having C-Diff. Could you please explain the Causes,diagnosis ,treatment and prognisis of this? Thank you

Wikipedia.com has a great definition of this disease. I suggest you look there for all of your information; it's long, clear and concise.

Ask your grandson's doctor if taking probiotics, such as acidophilus would help him. It sounds like this is something he really needs.

Another good site to try would be
