A member asked:

Hi, i have been stomach cramps, chills, reduced appetite, bloating and backpain. i test pregnancy test its negative. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You could be dealing with an early viral gastrointestinal tract infection with diarrhea soon to follow. Rest up, drink noncarbonated fluids, eat a soft bland diet. Take acetaminophen for cramps, back pain and chills. Apply heat to abdomen to relieve bloating.If not gradually improving, see your physician for evaluation & advice.
