The aim of this study is to determine the tolerability and potential efficacy of dietary therapy, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), in pediatric patients with persistent antigen positivity due to C. difficile colonization with minimally active symptomatology. The goal of this pilot study is to gather preliminary data for a future treatment controlled trial of SCD versus standard medical therapy. This is a single center, open labelled study designed to determine tolerability, preliminary safety and potential efficacy in pediatric patients with persistent C. difficile colonization with minimally active symptomatology. The study patients will be recruited from Seattle Children's Gastroenterology and Infectious Disease clinic.
