Dear Ms,
Almond milk has lot of nutritive values contains fibre, fat, calcium and other nutrients. Introducing a new substance in diet may sometimes cause cramping pain and other associated symptoms till the gastrointestinal system get used to it.
I would suggest you withdraw almond milk from the diet, if the symptoms improve the cause is likely to be almond milk.
In the event the symptoms persist even after stopping , you will require further evaluation. In the mean time you can take antispasmodic like Drotaverine to relieve you of cramp like pain.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
