Summary
The investigators found that community acquired C. diff occurs in children undergoing a
colonoscopy. When they were treated their symptoms got better. But, the investigators do not
know if the treatment for the C. diff made them better or another other factor made them feel
better. So, the investigators designed the following study. Children undergoing a colonoscopy
who are found to be C. diff positive at the time of the colonoscopy are randomized to one
group that gets immediate treatment or a second group that gets delayed treatment. Both
groups are closely monitored for symptoms.
