What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea?

Hi Last night my husband started experiencing stomach pain and then watery diarrhea. He has not thrown up and feels like he got run over by a truck. He has tried to eat crackers but ends up in the bathroom almost right away. He has no fever, but again, very achy. He is nauseous and miserable!
