Acute gastroenteritis explained
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. It is commonly called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases resolve within a few days.
Common triggers
Dirty water or food, meat that is not cooked through, shellfish, salads that were rinsed in tap water, ice cubes, and close contact with a person who already has the illness are the usual routes. Warm weather allows germs multiply, so holiday buffets and hot afternoons raise the risk.
