What Causes Watery Red Stools With Stomach Cramps?

I now have a liquid stool that seems to be all red, I can t tell if there is any other colors. I started earlier today with my stomach cramping and sounding gurgly. After sitting and emptying for at least a good 1/2 hour, maybe longer, my stomach continued to cramp. Every time I cramped up I felt I was going to have a movement and I did but it s been liquid since. I don t know, didn t notice earlier, if there was any blood coloring before the liquid movements. Should I be concerned or wait it out?

Hello
Welcome to Healthcare magic.

You might be having shigella bacteria infection which is spread by contaminated drinking water, cooked or uncooked food not warmed after handled by unhygienic hands, etc.
This infection causes fever, bloody and mucous diarrhea, stomach cramps etc.
First and most important is make the habit of hand washing. Don't take antidiarrheal medicine, will make the condition very bad.
Take ORS powder as much as you drink. Take other fluids and fruit juice also. Use fruits without pulp. Take chicken broth without fat. Drink fluids in between your meals and consult your physician for lab tests and antibiotics.

Thanks for contacting Healthcare magic...
