Hi,
Hormones can effect several systems and can cause gastro-intestinal symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, vomiting etc. Cramping is also a common finding. Yet, in the current scenario, you should also rule out any infection of the gastro-intestinal system. Please see a physician for further appraisal of the situation and appropriate management. Liver function should also be assessed. Blood counts, stool test, urinalysis and a sonogram of the abdomen and the pelvis are needed. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
