Meaning of "gastroenteritis" in English

Gastroenteritis, often referred to as stomach flu, is an inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which includes both the stomach and the intestines. This condition is usually caused by infections from viruses, bacteria, or parasites, and can also result from a reaction to new foods or medications. Symptoms typically include diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, and fatigue, and it is generally transmitted through contaminated food or water. Though often uncomfortable, gastroenteritis is usually self-limiting, resolving without treatment within a few days.
