About Acute Gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a brief bout of irritation and swelling in the stomach and bowel, most often triggered by a virus, bacterium or parasite. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
How Acute Gastroenteritis Feels
- Stomach cramps
- Nausea and vomiting
- Watery diarrhoea
What Can Cause Acute Gastroenteritis
Most infections come from something eaten or drunk: contaminated water, undercooked meat or seafood, unwashed salad or ice. You can also catch it from a sick travel companion. Heat speeds up bacterial growth, which explains why summer trips so commonly end with a tummy bug.
