Hello,
The typical medicines to treat clostridium difficile colitis are metronidazole and vancomycin. If these have been tried and do not work then a fecal transplant is probably what is needed. This can be done by a gastroenterologist. It sounds strange but this can cure many people with longstanding suffering from C. diff colitis. Talk to your gastroenterologist about this.
