Gastroenteritis, also referred to as gastro, is an inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract marked by fever, diarrhea, and/or vomiting. Though not related to influenza, it is sometimes referred to as stomach flu or stomach bug. It is caused by an infectious viral, bacterial, or parasitic pathogen. You can get gastro from drinking contaminated water and sharing personal objects. Transmission rates are also affected by poor hygiene.
