A member asked:

What could cause severe stomach cramps and severe watery diarrhea for 2 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral infection: Stomach bugs are a likely reason for your symptoms. Recommend avoiding dairy and fruit juices for a day or so. Use lactaid milk or lactaid tablets for a week and see how you feel. If you start noticing any blood in your stools you need to visit your pcp.
