What is acute gastroenteritis?
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usually caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. It is frequently called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases resolve in a few days.
Signs of acute gastroenteritis to look for
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Stomach cramps
- Nausea and vomiting
- Low-grade fever
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 commonly end with a tummy bug.
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.
