What Causes Abdominal Pains And Loose Stools?

Hi, for the past couple of days I have had loose stools and today I have noticed slight pain in my lower stomach, with a rumbling feeling. I am also type-1 diabetic. I take birth control and ended up taking the wrong pill for the wrong day and have been since Wednesday. I didn t take Saturday s pill last night, hoping that I would bring myself back on to the schedule. Could that be the cause of these symptoms?

HI.
The abdominal pain with rumbling is usually due to intestinal infection, waterborne diseases. Get an antibiotic cover and you will be fine.
This is not related to the pills your are taking or missing.
Yes, Diabetes has to be monitored well as infection can increase blood sugar and increased blood sugar can increase infection.So be careful and get daily blood sugars done to confirm that diabetes is perfectly controlled.
