Samento 'might' work. High dose probiotics is another possibility, but I'm no doctor and I haven't read many studies on C-Diff.
Sorry I can't more helpful here.

The acidophilus or lactobacilli (friendly bacteria) have been destroyed by taking antibiotics, improper eating habits, constipation and/or diarrhea, parasites, intestinal infections, etc. When this bacteria is injested by mouth, it is destroyed by our digestive juices. Only 2-5% ever make the 22 foot journey from the stomach to the colon.
Colon Reflorastation is the introduction of healthy intestinal bacteria supplement into the rectum, which delivers it into the sigmoid flexure of the colon. After one hour of retention, it will colonize the bowel; three days later, it will be stablized. This health procedure is only designed to reinforce the homeodynamic balance of the bowel flora.

S Boulardii
Which can be bought as a brand named Florastor, but that is just a pretty packaging costing too much money. You can buy a bottle of s boulardii for less than $30
