For many (most?) stool tests a liquid sample is best for ensuring that you'll find what you're looking for. I don't know if this applies to C. diff tests, but it's true of other infectious agents ("ova and parasites"). Many years ago when I was probably first developing IBD I was sent into the city (New York) from the suburbs to get a "proper" version of such a test, then performed by the health department. The first step was to drink a strong laxative, followed by sitting around in a shabby waiting room until magic happened, a liquid sample was provided, and a nerve-wracking drive home ensued. I recall receiving my very first parking ticket that day...
