About acute gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usually caused by a virus, bacteria 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.
Common triggers
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.
How to lower your risk of 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.
