What can I take to relieve my cramps? Should I make an appointment with my doctor right away?
27-year-old woman
Hello,
I have been having stomach cramps and loose stools for a week now. My cramps dissipate for a few hours and then come back after eating any kind of food.

Hello,
In order to properly assess your situation, I need to ask you some questions.
Do you have a constant pain in your stomach?
Do you have reflux symptoms associated with your cramps?
How many bowel movements per day do you currently have?

Yes, quite constant, for example; I get up in the morning and have a pain, it passes for a while and comes back after a few hours.
No reflux
At least 5 times maximum

Thanks for the clarification. I would suggest antispasmodics for the bowel, as that seems to be where you are having difficulty. I might prescribe Bentylol 20 mg tablets to be taken 3 to 4 times a day for 7 to 14 days.
