What is acute gastroenteritis?

Symptoms of acute gastroenteritis

What can cause acute gastroenteritis
Contaminated food or water, undercooked meat, shellfish, unwashed salads, ice in drinks, or contact with someone who is already ill. Hot weather lets bacteria multiply quickly, which is why it is common on summer holidays.
