Enteritis Enteritis

Enteritis is an inflammation of the intestine, but usually associated with inflammation of the stomach (gastroenteritis) and caused by an infection. These inflammations are considered to be the most common cause of nausea and vomiting and diarrhea in humans and may be associated with abdominal pain.

causes

Most of the time the symptoms are caused by bacteria or viruses. Transmission is through lubrication or droplet infection or food. Also, certain medications, poisons, allergies, and radiation can cause enteritis.

symptoms

Most of the time it starts for those affected with malaise, loss of appetite, which can then turn into nausea and vomiting. This is followed later by abdominal pain, which is usually seen as convulsive, accompanied by diarrhea and can sometimes be bloody.

In parallel, dizziness, fever and general fatigue can occur. The whole thing usually takes about three days.
Dangerous it is, if it comes through liquid and mineral loss with internal dehydration to severe shock-like circulation problems, seizures or kidney failure. (Thorsten Fischer, Naturopath Osteopathy)
