Bacterial gastroenteritis happens when the bacteria in your gut cause an infection which, in turn, causes inflammation in your stomach and intestines. You may also experience symptoms like severe abdominal cramps and diarrhea. While viruses can cause many gastrointestinal infections, bacterial infections are also common in your gut such as food poisoning. Poor hygiene can often result in bacterial gastroenteritis. Infections can also occur after close contact with animals or consuming food or water contaminated with bacteria.   If you or someone you love is experiencing abdominal pain, don’t let it fester!
