Gastrocolitis is a medical condition that causes inflammation of the stomach and colon. This medical condition is often referred to as colitis. It is believed that a diet that is high in protein but lacks fruits and vegetables or other fibrous foods can cause the symptoms associated with gastrocolitis.
