What Causes Diarrhea With Stomach Sickness?

I am trying not to over think things, but I have had diahrea since Saturday and now all of a sudden I am very sick to my stomach as well. Last week, I was diagnosed with Broncial Spasm and now this. I am only a little concerned because I have been exposed to C-Diff. I am really not sure what that is, but I have heard it can be bad.

Hello,my name is Dr Dorina Gurabardhi.C.diff is a bacterium(clostridium difficile)that can cause diarrhea, three or more times a day for several days, with abdominal pain or tenderness.The treatment:
-antibiotics,you can start with flagyl 10-14 days
-probiotics,for example yovita
-Fluids. Drinking plenty of water or get intravenous fluids can help guard against dehydration from diarrhea.If the situation gets worse see a gastrologyst.
