Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis is inflammation in an individual's stomach or intestine. Inflammation makes these organs feel swollen and sore. It causes symptoms of diseases, like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Gastroenteritis often happens when you get an infection in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Bacteria and viruses can cause food poisoning and stomach flu infections. Chemicals can also cause gastroenteritis. Contagious gastroenteritis is the most common type. It’s caused by an infection in your gastrointestinal tract (stomach and/or intestines). Viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites may cause the infection. Chemical gastroenteritis can happen if you ingest toxic chemicals, which can contaminate food and water sources. You can also get it from heavy doses of alcohol or drugs, comprising of some medications. To stop Gastroenteritis, always remember, keeping a healthy lifestyle. Fighting! Fighting! Fight against gastroenteritis. Thank you.
