Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the lining of both the stomach and the intestines. Like gastritis it can occur in acute or toxic forms as a result of food poisoning, excessive alcohol intake, viral or bacterial infections or food allergies. Vomiting, diarrhea and fever may be pronounced and of longer duration. As long as nausea and vomiting persist, no food or fluid should be taken; when these symptoms cease, a bland, mainly fluid diet consisting of strained broth, thin cereals, boiled eggs and tea is best. If fever continues and diarrhea doesn’t tapers off, professional help should be called.
