Sometimes, diarrhoea can bring about these very painful cramps that feel like menses. I think if you’re able to drink enough water to hydrate yourself, then drinking water and resting is all you need to do. Perhaps see a doctor if the diarrhoea doesn’t resolve after a day or two? Avoid spicy and oily food, as well as dairy products for 2 weeks, because you lose good bacteria in your gut after having diarrhoea. You can try to take some probiotics if you like too. I know it’s really not fun, but think of the diarrhoea as getting of some toxins that’s causing this stomach upset... so try not to take anti-diarrhoea medicine unless it’s severe. Get well soon!
