What Causes Loose Stools Associated With Abdominal Pain And Cramping?
Hi I regularly have loose stools associated with cramping and tender abdo pain
I don't eat a lot of bread but think this does make the symptoms worse . I drink a couple of skinny capo chinos and always have to rush to the loo afterwards ... I cannot see any visible blood or mucus . I am 60 and otherwise healthy thank you

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have loose stools associated with abdominal pain and cramping . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like appendicitis , consuming foods known to cause gas in some people such as milk products or beans , crohn’s disease , gastroenteritis , intestinal obstruction or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , ultrasound and stool test .. Doctor may prescribe lopramide , muscle relaxant along with ornidazole and laxative . I would suggest you to first of all start taking Fluid Replacement Therapy by drinking ample of water with dissolved Oral dehydration salts in it to compensate for fluid loss and avoid dehydration. Take foods like banana, rice with curd, cereals and low fat foods.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
