Diarrhoea and Vomiting
This is often due to a disease known
as gastro-enteritis which may be caused
by a bacteria or a virus. It is common
in the summer when flies spread germs
and also when travelling. There may be
intermittent abdominal pains.
TREATMENT
Most attacks settle down within 24-48
hours and the treatment is to allow the
bowel to rest while maintaining your
fluid intake. You should avoid all food
and drink small amounts of water every
few hours. When you are sure that you
are improving start with very light and
easily digestible food, before resuming
your usual diet.
