Hello,
It will mean you have gotten the infection in your stool again and you will need further antibiotic treatment to cure. once you get c.diff once you are more likely to get it again. Treatment consists of antibiotics and if that doesn't work sometimes they do fecal transplants to restore colonic bacteria. you can take probiotics and eat yogurt to keep colonic bacteria population healthy to help avoid re infections.
