Stomach virus, also known as gastroenteritis, stomach flu, or gastric flu, is an infection that causes inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which affects the stomach and the intestines. Although it is a viral infection, it should not be confused with the influenza virus, or flu viruses.
A stomach virus usually lasts from 2-5 days and is self-limiting, which means the body cures itself. It is highly contagious, and common among adults and children. Stomach virus infections occur all year-round. They go away on their own eventually, and there are several natural remedies to relieve symptoms. Severe cases may also occur, but are rare.
