Stomach cramping for 4 days!!!

I am so tired of feeling this way - Here are my symptoms
- REALLY tired, like exhausted sleep all day kind of tired. I've been in bed for 4 days
- Loose yellow stool (sorry for the graphic details, but I want you guys to know EXACTLY what is going on)
- Stomach cramping like a gnawing sensation - Warm baths and laying on my stomach helps a little
- Loss of appetite - NOTHING tastes good except Gatorade/Water/Popsicles (Just trying to stay hydrated)
- Today is day 4 and I have a little nausea
- Feel like everything is resting in my chest
- Body aches, like my whole body, muscles just ache and are sore

I have not taken any medicine besides some Aleve for a minor headache I had yesterday, but other than that I haven't taken anything to settle my stomach (b/c I don't know what to take) I honestly don't think I could stomach any kind of liquid medication right now anyways. I am just really feeling sick and just don't know what to do at this point. I can't afford to go to the doctor right now because we don't have insurance so unless I'm on the floor dying, I won't go to the doctor. Thank you for any advice in advance.

Well I'm not throwing up...I just have the whole stomach thing...but today I haven't gone to the bathroom at all (prob bc there's nothing left...haha) but I've been eating and did not sleep all day today. So I guess I'm better. I still have some slight cramping but other than that I feel ok today :)

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I would recommend seeing a doctor about this, being be very tired along with your other symptoms could indicate something serious.  If you aren't really able to keep much down or take any medications, there isn't anything I can really suggest to you.  Can you try going to a county health clinic?
