What Causes Yellow Stools, Abdominal Cramps Ad Fatigue While Taking Medicines For C.diff?

I am on my fourth round of Vancomycin and also had a round of rifaximin for c. diff. I am taking a teaspoon of vanco 4x daily. But still having very yellow mulitple stools per day, lots of abdominal cramping and bloating and fatigue. my question is this normal for c.diff? I was first diagnosed in July of this year and have been on antibiotics since. Or are these symptoms caused by the antibiotics? or just something else entirely? I have been told they cannot test for c. diff again as stools are not liquid. But my last test in september was still positive. Just not sure at all what I am dealing with... maybe I have just been left with severe lactose intolerance?
thanks so much!!
