Why Acute Gastroenteritis Happens
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 often end with a tummy bug.
What Is Acute Gastroenteritis?
Acute gastroenteritis is a brief bout of irritation and swelling in the stomach and bowel, most commonly triggered by a virus, bacterium or parasite. A virus, bacteria or parasite is usually responsible, and the everyday names are stomach flu, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea; recovery in a few days is typical.
