Lower Abdominal Discomfort After Natural Delivery. Had Loose Stools, Feeling Gassy

Hi, 3.5 months post third baby natural delivery and have developed lower abdominal discomfort/cramping. Started two weeks ago, had a few loose stools and two days (Mon/Tues this week) of what felt like a virus with diarrhea. Felt better for two days, not cramping/discomfort is back,

Cramping is on and off, feels a bit like gas but not quite and in the lower middle of my abdomen.
