Gastroenteritis is a common disease that is not absent all year round, and every time it appears, it makes people hate it and itchy, and they toss it all week. The taste of the porridge and side dishes had to be light, and the five sticks seemed to be a lot cleaner. Director Zhang Shuxin said: Infectious gastroenteritis can be divided into two types, bacterial and viral, and no matter what kind of gastroenteritis is, if it does not improve for more than two days, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Classification of gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis is a common condition that involves inflammation of the stomach and small intestine and large intestine due to bacteria, viruses, food toxins, or chemical processes during the period. Clinically, gastroenteritis can be simply distinguished into infectious gastroenteritis and non-infectious gastroenteritis. Infectious gastroenteritis can be divided into "viral" and "bacterial" gastroenteritis according to different pathogens.
1. Non-infectious gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis not caused by a foreign viral or bacterial infection, such as drug toxicity, food toxins or overeating.
2. Infectious gastroenteritis
Infectious gastroenteritis can be divided into two types, viral gastroenteritis and bacterial gastroenteritis, which are mostly diarrhea and vomiting. Viral fever and muscle aches similar to flu may occur, but the overall symptoms are mild and the duration of the impact is short. Bacterial gastroenteritis is more severe, easy to desolve blood and pus, and is also a type of food poisoning.

Peak Season:It is common all year round.
b. Bacterial gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis requires more attention to hydration
Gastrointestinal diseases such as vomiting and diarrhea can take away a lot of water and electrolytes from the body, so it is best to replenish water and electrolytes from time to time. You can go to the pharmacy to buy electrolyte water or powder lozenges that can be soaked and take it back, the electrolytic quality that can be replenished by commercial sports drinks is relatively insufficient, and most of them contain a lot of sugar, high sugar will irritate the stomach and cause discomfort, further aggravating the inflammation. If you don't have electrolyte water for a while, you should replace it with a sports drink for the time being, remember to mix it with warm water one to one, and don't pour the ice sports drink you just bought directly into your mouth, so as not to irritate your stomach and intestines with the cold.
Gastroenteritis these should be avoided
Foods that are high in oil (fried foods), high in sugar (pastries and desserts), coarse in fiber (bamboo shoots, vegetable stems, celery), indigestible dairy products (milk), harsh seasonings (chili, garlic, green onions) and over-seasoned foods.
Try to focus on low-fiber, light food, let the stomach and intestines repair slowly, and when you can expel solid stool, it means that the gastrointestinal function is almost recovered.
