But I'm betting it doesn't appeal to patients or docs in large numbers:

Relapsing Clostridium difficile enterocolitis cured by rectal infusion of normal faeces.Schwan A, Sjolin S, Trottestam U, Aronsson B.


Repeated recurrence of Clostridium difficile-associated enterocolitis is uncommon but troublesome for the afflicted patient. The patient described here received vancomycin treatment several times but always had a relapse of C. difficile enterocolitis 2-3 weeks after discontinuation of treatment. She did not form serum antibodies to C. difficile cytotoxin (toxin B). Rectal infusion of enemas prepared from fresh faeces resulted in final cure.

But, on the other hand, here's a search on probiotics in the treatment of c diff. They seem to clearly help prevent it, but the jury's out on treatment, is my quick take. But I've not gone through the pieces thoroughly.
