Abdominal cramping is a painful condition caused by contractions of the muscles in and around the abdomen. The pain can be acute and sudden or chronic and gradual. Though most cases are caused by minor illnesses, severe cramping can sometimes be a sign of a more serious condition.

Irritable bowel syndrome, also referred to as IBS, causes your intestines to contract slower or faster than normal. Due to the difference in the way your bowels constrict, this can cause your large intestine to create gas, pain, cramping and sudden bouts of diarrhea or constipation. Your symptoms may be more severe at certain times, depending upon diet and other lifestyle factors.
