How to Treat the Stomach Flu at Home

The stomach flu (gastroenteritis) is definitely NOT the same as influenza “flu”– which is a respiratory infection.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, stomach flu is an infection of the stomach and intestines. It can be caused by different viruses.

It’s definitely not fun to get sick, but having a stomach virus is one of the worst experiences. This is when nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever all gang up together to let you taste a few days of bathroom-ridden hell.

The stomach flu can be highly contagious and has a way of attacking when one least expects it. While it is transmitted mostly from person to person, via a handshake, for example. It can also be spread through contaminated food. There’s often no specific medical treatment for viral gastroenteritis.
