What is the cause of gastroenteritis?
(1) It is difficult to determine the specific cause of gastroenteritis.
(2) Bacteria: Bacteria that may cause gastroenteritis include Vibrio vulnificus, Campylobacter, Salmonella, etc.
(3) Viruses: Although the human body is very resistant to viruses, many viruses can still cause gastroenteritis. Such as rotavirus, Norwalk virus and astrovirus. Norwalk virus, in particular, can cause disease in adults and children in any season, and can spread through fecal-oral infection and water pollution, which is easy to cause severe diarrhea. Especially in countries or regions where public health is underdeveloped, it is more likely to break out.
(4) Parasites: Gastroenteritis caused by intestinal parasites is rare. Not easy to spread. But the disease can cause chronic diseases or other pathological changes. Angiostrongylus cantonensis was found in all parts of China in 2006. It was infected by eating raw snail meat (Ampullaria gigas and Babylonia gigas), which may cause gastroenteritis and more serious lesions.
(5) Food poisoning: It is a vague cause, which can be caused by bacterial toxin or virus infection.
How to prevent gastroenteritis?
1, don't eat unclean fruits and vegetables.
During the growing period, melons and fruits should be watered, fertilized and sprayed with pesticides. In the process of collection, processing and sales, they are easily infected by bacteria, so that many melons and fruits have bacteria, eggs and chemical pesticides on their skins. Therefore, melons and fruits must be washed with clear water several times before eating. All melons and fruits that can be peeled should be peeled before eating, otherwise pesticide accumulation poisoning will easily occur.
2, avoid eating irritating diet.
Irritating foods such as cold food and spicy food should be selected according to personal circumstances, original eating habits and seasons to avoid overeating, especially alcohol addiction.
3, pay attention to tableware hygiene
Tableware should be cleaned before and after use. Some people rinse the tableware with boiling water before using it. In fact, it is better to rinse it thoroughly with clear water. The rag should be kept as clean and dry as possible, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria.
4. Don't eat while walking.
Because there are many invisible bacteria and viruses flying with the dust in the air, it is easy to pollute food and lead to gastrointestinal diseases.
Health guide for gastroenteritis
1. Actively treat the infection focus of oropharynx, and don't swallow sputum, snot and other bacteria-carrying secretions into the stomach to cause chronic gastritis.
2. Keep cheerful: depression or excessive tension and fatigue can easily lead to dysfunction of pyloric sphincter and bile reflux, thus leading to chronic gastritis.
3. Use with caution to avoid using drugs that damage gastric mucosa, such as aspirin, salicylic acid, phenylbutazone, indomethacin, hormone, erythromycin, tetracycline, sulfonamides, reserpine, etc. Long-term abuse of such drugs will damage the gastric mucosa, thus causing chronic gastritis and ulcers.
4. Harmful components in tobacco can promote the increase of gastric acid secretion and produce harmful stimulation to gastric mucosa. Excessive smoking can cause bile reflux. Excessive drinking or long-term drinking of strong liquor can make gastric mucosa hyperemia, edema and even erosion, and the incidence of chronic gastritis increases obviously. You should give up smoking and drinking.
5. Irritating foods such as too much acid and spicy food and cold and indigestible foods should be avoided as much as possible. Chew slowly when eating, so that the food is fully mixed with saliva, which is beneficial to digestion and reduces the stimulation to the stomach. Diet should be quantitative on time, nutritious, and contain more vitamins A, B and C, and avoid stimulating drinks such as strong tea and strong coffee.
6. You can practice the internal cultivation method.
Note: Don't eat spicy, too cold, too sweet or too greasy food. Eat regularly, don't eat too much, and pay attention to your food intake.
