Early symptoms of stomach flu - What are the usual symptoms of stomach flu? Misnomer. This may be an infection, often a virus, characterized by diarrhea and vomiting. Repeated such episodes can often be due to bad diet.
The stomach flu (or gastroenteritis) is a condition that typically causes inflammation of the stomach and small intestines. This sickness is a virus, not a bacteria, so it cannot be treated with antibiotics. The symptoms of the stomach flu include nausea, watery diarrhea, and vomiting. Generally, stomach flu is not a serious illness, and most people recover completely. The duration of the stomach flu virus is 1 to 10 days but only 3 to 5 days on average. Some of the symptoms can be alleviated by eating specific foods.
