Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain While Suffering From C-diff

I was exposed to c-diff at work on Tuesday night and all day today and tonight I ve had abdominal cramping and now tonight nausea. I m currently on a long-term mild antibiotic for recurrent UTIs and a short-term one just added for cellulitis of my finger where the cat got to me. So far no diarrhea, vomiting or fever.

without an exam, I can only give general information and c diff does not have to have diarrhea. Cramping pain would imply a strong possibility of it being there. It can be even fatal if untreated. and the treatment is pretty simple and without much complication (metronidazole or vancomycin orally).
