What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Gas?

default
Posted on Mon, 5 May 2014
Question: Hi, I arrived back from the Philippines a few days ago after a two week holiday. All of a sudden I am experiencing moderate to severe abdominal cramping which comes and goes. When this pain attacks, I am flinching and holding my stomach in pain. It feels awful. It is accompanied with gas. Howevery, it has been coming and going for the past two days. I have not eaten anything out of the ordinary. Is this something I should be concerned about or should I just wait until it has passed? Thank you.
