10 Stomach Flu Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #2: Abdominal Cramping
One of the main reasons that the stomach flu can cause cramping is because it causes an inflammation of the gastrointestinal lining. This alone can cause discomfort and cramping, but it can also impede digestion and make it difficult to digest food.
This can cause things like bloating and excessive gas, both of which contribute to abdominal cramping. Oftentimes, people can reduce their abdominal cramping by going to the bathroom, but since the flu can cause diarrhea frequently, it might not subside for long.
