Probiotics. Cultures of helpful bacteria (lactobacillus, etc.) have been shown to prevent or ameliorate mild cases of Clostridium difficile diarrhea. Culturelle is one brand name. There are others, but truthfully I'd have to look up which ones are effective and which are heath food store crap.

If any case of c.diff could be described as mild.
