Stomach bug or UTI/kidney issue?

Last Monday night I was woken up with awful cramping in the middle of my upper stomach, thought it was trapped wind. That then passed but I had a tender lower abdomen so went to the GP with a urine sample. She said I had a bit of an infection so prescribed me a 3 day course of antibiotics. Was off work as was really drained, and in some discomfort.

Started to feel a bit better today, went for a gentle walk, but when I came back had awful cramping again, this time lower bowel/bladder/pelvis sort of area. Since then I’ve had diarrhoea and am feeling pretty rotten.

I can’t work out if it’s just bad luck that I’ve got a stomach bug or food poisoning so soon after the UTI, or if it’s all the same thing. I could contact the GP again tomorrow but don’t want to waste their time if it’s just a bug. Equally I don’t want to be off work any longer than necessary having already been out for much of last week...

Any words of wisdom?

Thought I’d bump this in case anyone has any knowledge in this area
