66. Stomach Pains or Cramps



Stomach pains or cramps can be an indication of an acute abdomen, which needs to be thoroughly assesssed. If pathology is ruled out consider the following causes of generalized inflammation: food allergies, upper GI bleeding, gastritis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Also consider that you may be suffering from dysbiotic bowel, a possible parasitic infection, or that you may be allergic to certain foods. A person that is allergic to gluten will complain of stomach cramps and pain, as will a person that is lactose intolerant.
