Are Lower Abdominal Cramps Symptom Of Food Poisoning?

I had been having severe lower abdominal cramps on and off for over 24 hours. It felt like I was constipated. Cramps were worse when I had to urinate, etc. I had some fast food the night before waking up to these severe cramps. Could I have had/have food poisoning?
I also have hypothyroidism for many years and I know it can mess with your digestion, but I never have had anything like this before.
