stomach cramps
Gut muscle contractions
Stomach cramps are sharp, spasmodic pains in the abdomen—the muscles contracting painfully rather than smoothly.
The term covers everything from menstrual cramps to food poisoning to nervous tension: I had terrible stomach cramps after eating that street food.
Despite the name, the pain often originates in the intestines rather than the stomach itself.
