Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
The most common symptoms of mild to moderate C. difficile infection are:
Mild abdominal cramping and tenderness
Watery diarrhea three or more times a day for two or more days
I would advise you to see your doctor if you have three or more watery stools a day and symptoms lasting more than two days or if you have a new fever, severe abdominal pain or cramping, or blood in your stool.
I Hope you are helped.
Thanks
Dr. Tripat Mehta
