HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Diarrhea can be due to viral, bacterial ,fungal or parasitic infection.
A stool sample would be needed to determine what is causing the diarrhea.Diarrhea can cause an increase in pulse rate because of the fluid and electrolyte loss.
It may not be c diff but your doctor can check to determine this.
I hope this helps
