How long will the abdominal cramps from gastroenteritis last?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually under a week: The symptoms usually go away within a week. Weigh yourself every morning and be sure that you are not losing weight from dehydration over the next few days. If you are not holding food down, call your doctor today
