What Causes Severe Stomach Cramps?

Suffering from stomach cramps for the last 3 weeks. Hurts for one day then I ll be fine for a day or two, then the pain will return. It lasts for about 3 or 4 hours then it goes away. Cramping and pain along with some nausea and diarrhea. Tried checking what I m eating but there is nothing specific in my diet that is causing it.

Hello,

Since you are having abdominal cramps since 3 weeks, you should avoid spicy oily food, frozen food from outside. Stay away from dairy products & red meat for a couple of days. You are having indigestion, take small amount of semi solid food (porridge, oats, khichri, etc). Take antacid & PPI's, Pantaprazole - 40mg, one SOS when needed. You can take spasmaol (spasmoproxyvon) for relieve from pain(cramps).

You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, get CBC, Stool test(R/E & C/S), Widal test, LFT & Urinalysis done. The treating doctor can ask you to get few Imaging tests done to rule out Ulcers, peptic ulcer, gastric ulcer, etc.Your treatment will depend on the severity of the symptoms & pathology detected.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
