General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

Diarrhoea without fever, malaise and vomiting rules out infective causes.
So chances of C-diff is less, however please confirm it by stool examination.
Do you recently have taken any antibiotics?
As C-diff is mostly associated with use of broad spectrum antibiotic use.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
Dr. Hiren
