I had a bug with cramping and diarrhea lasting for 10 days. now, two weeks later, i have rumbling intestines and occasionally lighter stool. normal?

Gut flora: With such long intestinal infection, likely your gut flora (normal bacterial balance) has been thrown off. This can manifest in symptoms such as yours. I recommend intake of yogurt with acidophilus or over the counter supplements containing these to help return the gut balance. If not better, see your MD.

If you've gone a few days without having a bowel movement, is it normal for your first bowel movement after that to cause some pretty strong stomach cramps? Or for that bowel movement to be a lot of diarrhea?
