What Causes Gastroenteritis?

Updated: 3:07pm UK, Saturday 02 March 2013

Gastroenteritis is an infection of the stomach and bowel and is very common, with about one in five people affected every year in England.

The two most common causes in adults are a virus, such as the norovirus, or food poisoning, according to NHS Choices.

The infection interferes with one of the main functions of the intestines, the absorption of water from the contents of the intestines into the body.

Common symptoms of gastroenteritis include vomiting, diarrhoea and dehydration.

Most types of gastroenteritis are highly infectious, and bacteria can be transferred through poor hygiene, such as not washing your hands after going to the toilet.

Viruses and bacteria on hands can be transferred to whatever they touch, such as a glass, kitchen utensil or food.

Most people with gastroenteritis only have mild symptoms and the infection passes after a few days without the need for treatment.

But sufferers may need treatment in hospital if symptoms are severe or if they are vulnerable because of their age or another illness.

This is because diarrhoea can quickly cause dehydration which, if severe, can be fatal.

Each year in England and Wales an average of 190 deaths occur because of gastroenteritis, with most deaths in people over the age of 65.
