It depends: Normal viral gastroenteritis usually lasts for a day or two. C-difficile enteritis can take much longer, and you need to make sure you take the antibiotics as prescribed, and keep yourself hydrated.

C. Diff diarrhea: Since c. Diff can be caused by overgrowth due to antibiotic usage, the first thing is to stop the antibiotic. You can use probiotics to replenish normal intestinal flora and be placed on a proper antibiotic such as Flagyl or vancomycin to kill off the c diff organism.
