What is stomach cramps and diarrhea?

Gastrointestinal cramps and diarrhea may be related to improper diet, acute gastroenteritis or food poisoning.

1. Improper diet

If you eat some cold or iced food, it may stimulate gastrointestinal cramps and lead to gastrointestinal motility acceleration, causing gastric cramps and diarrhea.

2. Acute gastroenteritis

If you accidentally eat food contaminated by bacteria or viruses, it may cause acute gastroenteritis. Under the stimulation of inflammation, gastrointestinal cramps occur, causing gastric cramps. At the same time, the osmotic pressure in the intestinal tract increases, and the water content increases, causing diarrhea.

3. Food poisoning

If you eat toxic mushrooms, germinated potatoes or food contaminated by pesticides, the toxins can stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, causing gastric cramps and diarrhea.
