Less likely ca.: fAbdominal cramps and diarrhea are symptoms that may come with various disease, including gastritis, food poisoning, irritable bowel syndrome, parasitic infections, diverticulitis, etc. Intolerance to milk products or lactase insufficiency is another cause. If symptoms continute should consult internist or gastroenterologist. Diagnosis of cancer would be much less likely.
