I suspect if I had this illness I'd be more than happy to swallow anything to get rid of it. Get a mouthful of water, drop it in and swallow real fast. So yeah, the capsules wouldn't bother me at all.

I have such a happy, well-adjusted gut I really thank my lucky stars, but yeah,

I'd do this.

Made me think a little about the other medical treatments with strong ick

Sounds like a good treatment. Just call them "C-diff B-gone" capsules.
