Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.

You probably have stomach bug. Stool analysis may be done to confirm it.
You may require a course of antibiotics if stool test shows bug.
Meanwhile you take the following for relief -
1. T.Bentyl twice daily for relief from cramps
2. T.Nexium once daily before breakfast for relief from stomach burning
3. Probiotics to hasten recovery from diarrhea
Take BRAT diet ( Banana Rice Apple sause Toast) and drink enough fluids.
