This is why it is important to always drink a lot of water if you’re suffering from diarrhea. If possible, drink oral rehydration salts, as this can help lower the risk of dehydration.
Abdominal pain
People experience abdominal pain when they have diarrhea because the body is trying to flush out the infection in the stomach. The way your body moves food through your stomach and intestines is through muscle contractions.
And when you have diarrhea, your body is basically forcing out the contents of your stomach, which can result in abdominal pain or discomfort.
Abdominal pain can be relieved by using a hot compress, or taking a warm bath to help soothe your stomach.

Abdominal cramps
Similar to abdominal pain, abdominal cramps happen because your stomach and intestinal muscles are trying to push empty the contents of your stomach and intestines. Uncoordinated contractions of your intestines and stomach lead to abdominal cramps and moderate to severe discomfort.
