Think you have the “stomach flu”? 🤢 it’s been going around the kootenays!
Also known as Viral gastroenteritis, this common illness can cause:
• nausea and vomiting
• watery diarrhea
• stomach cramps
• low-grade fever or fatigue
Despite the name, it’s not the same as the flu — it affects the digestive system, not the respiratory system. Influenza targets the lungs and airways, while gastroenteritis affects the intestines.
Most cases resolve on their own within a few days, but dehydration can occur if fluid losses aren’t replaced.
✨ In our latest blog, we cover:
• What viral gastroenteritis actually is
• Common symptoms and how it spreads
• When to seek medical care
• Simple ways to support recovery
