A member asked:

I have fairly severe stomach cramps which i suspect is just bloating, my concern is that its lasted more than 36 hours and i have been travelling (from us so some jet lag) so appendicitis would be a bummer. anything i need to check for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cramps: Appendicitis is typically associated with persistent right lower abdominal ache and tenderness. True cramping is more typical of intestinal irritability, blockages or irritation/inflammation. Abdominal distension and vomiting are serious symptoms. If your symptoms are persisting or worsening, you should be examined by a physician and appropriate tests will be ordered.Otherwise eat a light diet.
