Brief Answer:
Laxatives will help

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The cramps you have could be due to undigested salad or other foods you had recently.

Taking Laxative will surely help.

Liquid Paraffin 15ml once in the night for three days will wash out the bowel of undigested or underdigested food and relieve you of pain.

If the pain is unbearable, you can take a dose of antispasmodics like BUSCOPAN.

Do consume soft and more of liquid diet for two days from now.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
