Gastroenteritis

By: Joshua Zempoalteca

What gastroenteritis is
● Intestinal infection caused by consuming contaminated food or coming in contact
with an infected person
● Affected organs are stomach and intestines
● No medicine to get rid of it, but infected people can recover
● Can last from one day to 10 days or more
What I thought I knew
● Does not usually last long

● Certain food should be eaten, like ---->

● Eating wrong food only makes it take longer to recover

● People don’t die from it

What I learned
● People can actually die from it, but it’s usually young kids and old people
● Eating bland food will make it easier (Rice, toast, and bananas are good foods
to eat)
● Resting and rehydration are major keys to recovering
