About acute gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, generally 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.
Causes and risk factors
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 rapidly, which is why it is frequent on summer holidays.
Turgutreis: local notes for acute gastroenteritis
Visitors to Turgutreis spend long hours in sun and water and eat out a lot, so sunburn, ear problems and stomach upsets are what doctors see most. Nearby you will also find Kadikalesi, Guvercinlik, Yahsi. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread rapidly through resort hotels. Tell your hotel if you are ill, and stay out of the pool until you have been symptom-free for 48 hours.
