If cramps in the stomach is associated with palpitation, sweating, feeling of heat inside body, tremor, dry mouth etc, then it may be anxiety

But, anxiety can occur because of pituitary macroadenoma

You need to check hormone levels (hormones that are secreted from pituitary) in consultation with an endocrinologist

Before coming to conclusion that it is functional, you should have a thorough check up of your endocrine status
