Core Tip	Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), common and increasing in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is associated with worse outcomes in IBD. Vancomycin-containing regimens are effective first-line therapies for CDI in IBD. Ambiguity exists on the treatment of IBD flare in patients with CDI; however, case reports suggest corticosteroid initiation after appropriate antibiotic therapy may be effective.
