Acute gastroenteritis explained
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
Causes and risk factors
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 frequently end with a tummy bug.
Alanya: local notes for acute gastroenteritis
Alanya is a lively spot, so late nights, alcohol and sun often combine into one bad day. Nearby you will also find Kas, Kalkan, Kadriye. Late nights, alcohol and street snacks make dehydration worse. Rehydrate with sachets, skip alcohol while recovering and eat plain food first.
Travel guide to Alanya
In antiquity the town was Coracesium, later Kalonoros, and the Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubad gave it the name Alaiye, which became Alanya. Tourist tip: climb to Alanya Castle, see the Red Tower and Damlatas Cave, and shop the bazaar for souvenirs and leather. Cleopatra Beach is good for swimming, with diving, jet-skiing and paragliding on offer.
Preventing acute gastroenteritis
Wash hands before eating, choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, drink sealed or bottled water, and be cautious with salads and ice if you are unsure of their source.
Getting acute gastroenteritis treated in Alanya
The physician asks about your meals and recent travel, checks for signs of dehydration, gives clear advice on fluids and food and, where suitable, prescribes treatment. You then collect the e-prescription medicine from the nearest pharmacy. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and pain relief; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and often
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
- Rest, and avoid alcohol and very fatty or spicy food while recovering
