Default post op stomach bug

I need some advice please. I have had gastro symptoms for about 8-9 days now. Some days have been worse than others. Today I am a bit better. I am getting tested for C. Difficile, and will know in 2 days if I have that. I am wondering what my treatment options are.

Due to my operation and all the meds I had to take I think my immune system was run down bad making me more suseptable. I am slowly recovering.

MY GP says if it doesn't get better I will need to take Flagyl. I am wondering if this is a good idea or should I let my body try to heal itself? If I have this bacteria can the body fight it off or is antibiotics a must? I am taking Inner Health & probiotics.

Thank you
