Hello, I have cramps and I have soft stools. What can I do?

Question

Hello, I started to have abdominal cramps in my upper stomach on Monday. Then the pain subsided but on Tuesday night I started to have diarrhea. Since Wednesday night, my seals are more solidified but I started to have huge cramps again. No, no other medications, no other symptoms, not pregnant or becoming pregnant, no intolerance and/or allergy!

Hello ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles Are you currently taking any other medications? Do you have or have you had any other symptoms such as fever or other? Are you pregnant or trying to become pregnant or are you breastfeeding? Do you have any allergies or intolerances? Thank you for your time! Thanks for the feedback. Usually these symptoms are associated with food poisoning or a virus in particular. This usually causes symptoms that disappear by themselves. I invite you for the next few days to favor light foods such as soups, broths, toast, eggs, brown rice, and to avoid very fatty or very sweet foods such as red meat and undiluted fruit juices. Be sure to stay hydrated, taking 1 sip of fluid every 3 to 5 minutes (do not drink too quickly as this can also trigger nausea and diarrhea). I hope this was helpful and I am available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
