Have Stomach Cramps. Suggest A Remedy

Hi, last night i started to feel a sicky feeling i hadnt eaten anything that could cause this so just ignored it. When i got home from work late last night i ate a couple of pieces of garlic bread but could feel my stomach was upset. Before bed i was sick a tiny bit it wasnt alarming and appeared as normal sick. This morning i woke myself up with uncontrolable stomach cramps creasing up the pain was undercsibable and lasted each time for around 5 to 10 seconds and came every 5 seconds after the cramp my stomach sometimes growled at me as if i was hungry but there are no hunger pains. Also since the pains have started i have been being violently sick it appears to be white and clear fluid. I have been being sick non stop since 6 o clock this morning. It is like pure acid from my stomach and burning everythin on the way up. After an episode of major stomach cramps and being violently sick it calms for a few mins and i have managed to get short sleeps in of about ten mins but when i wake it all starts again! The cramps feel like someone is twisting my insides around and squeezing them! I dont know whether to go to ane as i dont want to waste anyones time and i cant control the sickness. Please Help i have been in agony for a almost a whole day.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Abdominal cramps and vomiting are symptoms that can occur with different gastrointestinal illnesses including gastroenteritis.
Gastroenteritis is infection/inflammation of the stomach and intestines from viral or bacterial infection.

The treatment of this condition is mainly: (1)fluids to prevent or treat dehydration
(2)anti emetics-medications to decrease vomiting
(3)probiotics

If you have a fever or the pain is extremely severe, you would need to rule out other conditions such as appendicitis. This means that you need to visit your doctor for an assessment.

I hope this helps
