It might be viral. Usually Cdiff comes with endless D and abdominal pain , vomiting is not a classic symptom. A good sign is that she didn't lost her appetite and she is able to eat. It was a smart choice to have her tested , is better to be safe then sorry. Hopefully the test will come back negative and symptoms will clear soon. Try giving her a good probiotic , Florastor perhaps might help bulk up her stools.

If you start probiotics, use the children's Florastor and ask your pediatrician what he or she would recommend. Several other brands have a children's formula.
