Severe abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea, vomiting... any ideas?!
Question: 25y/o old Female, no major pre-existing health conditions. 3 days ago I began to get bad abdominal and lower back pain and stomach cramps accompanied by vomiting. Over the past 3 days, intensity has fluctuated and vomiting was gone, but back now. I have also had diarrhea. The pains I am having are in my entire abdomen area and around my sides into my lower to mid back. It feels like I am repeatedly being stabbed. The nausea is just about unbearable. I dont particularly like going to the docs, but it appears I may have to. I was just wondering if these were common symptoms of anything that anyone knew of.
Just FYI, it is not my monthly friend coming to visit (that was 2 weeks ago). I have ruled out pregnancy because I am on the pill (and just to be completely positive, I took a home test).
Any ideas on what may be causing these symptoms, please advise!
Thank you.

The possible causes are never ending. Most commonly related to those symtoms, peptic ulcer comes to mind. If left untreated can get pretty nasty.
Might also just be a stomach virus.
Kidney infection.
Apendecidis.
Stress related.
I've always been advised that anything unbarable should be taken care of immediately. Especially pain not responding to pain medication.
Schedule an appointment or head to the ER. Apendicidis is very common among your age group and can be deadly and quickly too. The symptoms come on very hard & quickly.
There was about 4 months would I couldn't keep anything down but small amounts of non-heavy stuff and always felt nauseous. Very simular to pregnancy symptoms but I wasn't. I had real uncomfortable gas pains. I later found out that most likely I was just really stressed out and my body was reacting.
Just get checked sweety. The worst to happen is you'll feel better in the long run :)
Could be food poisoning. Stay hydrated
just go to the doctor is not good to be guessing with it comes to health and what you have sounds very serious you should go as soon as possible to the doc drink allot of fluids you are probably getting dehydrated by all those symptoms just go and good luck
C-diff (C-difficile)? Have you recently been on antibiotics that may have caused an overgrowth of C-diff?

Every symptom your having is classic stomach flu and it will take about 2 weeks to recover. You probably can't keep any solid foods down, so drink plenty of fluids mostly water. Just try a few sips every 5-10 minutes and try eating a few crackers as well. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON.
