Hi, I Have Stomach Cramp & Diarrhea For 3 Days
Question: Brief Answer:
It sounds like gastroenteritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi Joseph_m_rush,
What you describe sounds like infectious gastroenteritis. It is a completely benign and self-limiting condition, and it sounds like you are recovering. The most important thing is to stay hydrated. If you have fever or blood in your stools, you should see a doctor for stool samples and possibly intravenous rehydration and antibiotics at hospital.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Brief Answer:
The diarrhea typically lasts for a few days to a week
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
The diarrhea typically lasts for a few days to a week. The abdominal discomfort can go on for longer, but as long as it (gradually) gets better, all is OK. If you are bothered by the diarrhea in any way and do not have a fever or blood in your stools, try some loperamide (e.g. Imodium) for a week's time.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to you.
Best wishes.
