10 Causes of Stomach Cramps
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #4: Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis, which is also commonly known as stomach flu, is a relatively common ailment. It is generally caused by a viral or bacterial infection. It can lead to a host of unwanted symptoms such as nausea and vomiting and can also lead to stomach cramps.
Stomach flu is not usually something to be overly concerned about and it will usually clear up in a couple of days or so. You should see a doctor if symptoms persist, though, and people that are vulnerable should be monitored closely. A course of antibiotics will often be prescribed to help cure the illness.
