Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
•     Well, such cramps and pain is nonspecific sign and it is hard to identify just one possible cause, but there are disorders which are more frequent than other and mostly include benign issues. However, some more serious should always be ruled out. These common include trapped wind (flatulence), pain or discomfort after eating (indigestion) or constipation. These can be treated with changed dietary and lifetime habits and rarely require some more specific treatment. In every case you need to watch your diet: You need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement on this or serious symptoms occur such as blood in stool, weight loss or complete constipation with abdominal distension, then you need to see doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, you can do tests if necessary that include abdominal CT scan and colonoscopy.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
