I've had lower abdominal pain on and off for two days, which has started to get a little worse and more regular. I ate some Thai food and that seemed to set it off again. The pain is achy and feels like I have to hold my abdomen as I walk. I've had a heating pad on for a couple of hours and did exercise this morning, which aggravated it a little. I feel bloated and had a lot of diarrhea yesterday. I took a Covid test and it was negative. Today I haven't really gone to the bathroom yet. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?
