Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain And Watery Diarrhea

Hello, I have no other health conditions, I m 45 and for the past 3 days I ve experienced some abdominal pains that flow down from the top of my abdomen down, as well as watery diarrhea. This morning I had a solid bowel movement but as the day has progressed I m back to just the watery diarrhea. The cramps are gone. Thank you for reading this and your advice:) Sarah
