Can Food Poisoning Cause Diarrhea And Abdominal Cramping?

Age- 29 years old, Height- 5ft 10'', Weight- 12 stone Hello, I am wondering whether you could help me please. I recently travelled to Turkey for a weeks holiday. Unfortunately I have been unwell since my return to the UK. I have been unwell now for 10 days. My symptoms are; abdominal cramps and diarrhoea - I think it may be some sort of food poisoning but I thought I would have recovered by now. Thank you in advance for your advice.
