Need an exam: There are a number of conditions that can cause stomach cramping and diarrhea. The fact that it wakes you from sleep is concerning. Since this Q & A box is not designed or diagnosis it's best to SEE YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR A PROPER EVALUATION. Stomach pain that awakens you may be due to a peptic ulcer.
