This sounds similar to Questran, which is what eventually kicked my c.diff. Questran binds the toxins and it sounds like this drug does too. I'm not sure what the differentce is, but if it works as well as Questran did for me...that's great.
This too shall pass!

You may want to contact Massachusetts General in Boston. Either ID or GI, not sure which one. They ran the stage II trial. You can also try contacting Genzyme located in Waltham, MA. They make Tolevamer.
