Is it ok to use this to help slow the watery output?

I take the wafer form of Metamucil. Its purpose is to add fiber and "firmness" to stool. I wouldn't take it during C. diff, myself; adding fiber isn't generally helpful while in the midst of an illness characterized by D.
If your illness was preceded by use of a medication, e.g., an antibiotic, please fill out an FDA Adverse Event Report at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm

Its 11 weeks since your first post.
If you still have D you MUST consult a Dr and not self treat.
If your still on a vanco taper or have finished vanco and have "watery output" your meds and treatment need reviewing.
