Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking.

Your symptoms may be related with :
- food poising due to non fresh food ( lobster)
- acute gastrointestinal infection.
This is why to my opinion you need to use:
- spasmodic drugs like bytiscopolamine
- probiotics
- plenty of water.
If your symptoms continue more than 3-5 days than you need to do:
= fecal culture test
- Blood work
- abdominal ultrasound
and use antibiotics like ciprofloxacine and metronidazole.
Hope it was helpful to you!
