Probably food poisoning. Drink much water!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this cramp and the watery stools. This is probably linked to food poisoning. Treatment is making sure that all the water lost through diarrhea is replaced. For this, drink much water. If the cramps are severe, I will suggest that you take hyoscine tablets for relief.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Please, do not take this drug. It will rather make you not well. All I suggest if that you drink much water. No medications for now.
