Only a little: C. difficile is always something to be "concerned" about. But you are experiencing a rather mild case, and the Flagyl probably will take care of it. Cramps and loose stool could be due to C diff (symptoms often improve slowly) or the Flagyl. Complete treatment as prescribed and contact your doctor if symptoms continue. My guess your doc may have already scheduled a follow-up appointment.
