Understanding acute gastroenteritis
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. It is often called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases clear up in a few days.
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 often end with a tummy bug.
Symptoms of acute gastroenteritis
- Nausea and vomiting
- Stomach cramps
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Watery diarrhoea
- Low-grade fever
