Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* There are various reasons for abdomen cramp like feeling as indigestion, intestine
infection or other issues.

Kindly provide me further details so that I can answer your query completely.

1. Duration of current symptom with progress since beginning.
2. Any alteration in food intake, bowel habits ?
3. Appetite, urination disturbances if any ?

Mean while you can consume tablet ibuprofen or dicyclomine after meals for relief of colic provided there is no history of drug sensitivity to the same. And also advisable to take with antacid as ranitidine.

Awaiting for your response.
Wish you best recovery.

I have been on a Keto diet for about 4 months and have recently gone to less restrictive low carb. Eating clean, no sugar. I am taking levothyroxine for hypothyroid but no other medication. I also take a daily dose of potassium and manganese. My stools are black, loose and sticky. Symptoms of cramping began about a week ago with a sharp pain in my lower left side, with boated feeling and gas. There was a spot that was extremely tender. These symptoms have been replaced with just cramping in mid lower abdominal area. I have noticed the cramping particularly at night shortly after dinner. I have been doing a daily intermittent fasting for several months. I also go to the gym daily.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the details needed.

* As there is altered stool color, bloating with tender area involving left lower side, there
are chances of alteration in gut flora involving particular colon portion.

* Addition of probiotics with lacto bacillus and fresh curd will help great.

* In our clinic, I recommend stool microscopy examination with colonoscopy for further
evaluation and if the reports are available with you, please share with me in follow up
conversation.

Thanks.
