What causes Gastronteritis?
79550
Many different viruses can cause gastroenteritis, including rotaviruses, adenoviruses, caliciviruses, astroviruses, Norwalk virus, and a group of Noroviruses. Viral gastroenteritis is not caused by bacteria (such as Salmonella or Escherichia coli) or parasites (such as Giardia), or by medications or other medical conditions, although the symptoms may be similar. Your doctor can determine if the diarrhea is caused by a virus or by something else.

that is known as  borborygmi\nIt happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach and before you know it -.

These may be caused by 2 things:\n\n1. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease or GERD: It is the reflux of the acid from the stomach into the esophagus, producing heartburn. Lifestyle modifications like eating smaller meals (u may eat more often), eating meals at regular time, eating dinner atleast 3 hours before bedtime, elevating the head end of the bed, avoiding food that exacerbate these symptoms, etc. help. You may also try over the counter antacids or home remedies like milk for the occasional heartburn, but these are in no way curative. Your doc may also prescribe some drugs like ranitidine/famotidine or omeprazole/lansoprazole to decrease the acid production, but these will only bring temporary symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, eventually, surgery may be necessary. Also, if you have had this problem for a long time, it would be best to consult a doc, since chronic reflux of acid into the esophagus can result in serious problems like a Barrett's esophagitis, which may, very rarely, develop into a malignancy. It would therefore be best to discuss these issues with your doc.\n\n2. Peptic Ulcer Disease: Either a gastric(stomach) or a duodenal ulcer may produce stomach pain and heartburn. The cause is a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. It can be treated with a combination of 2 antibiotics and omeprazole/lansoprazole. Again, it would be best to Ask your doc, and see whether you indeed have H.pylori infection and get it treated. Symptomatic relief may be obtained with over the counter antacids, but it will only be temporary. Complete eradication of the H.pylori infection will result in resolution of these symptoms.

Sometimes when you get ill after eating something, it wasn't necessarily bad food.  You may have had a touch of stomach flu beforehand and the overeating could have just exacerbated the symptoms.\nRemember that the holidays are notorious for rich foods.  I went through 5 pounds of butter making dinner for today..that type of food could upset anyone with a queasy stomach.

Gastric colic reflex: \nAn increase in the muscle contractions within the date GI tract when food enters the empty stomach. This reflex causes many patients to have a bowel movement after eating.

Sounds like you have a virus if its just been recently.  If this occurs often maybe even food poisoning or something you are eating.  You should see a doc if it has occured often

Farts are primarily caused by bacteria that reside in your lower gut. They eat undigested foods that pass into the lower gut and as a byproduct of that, methane is produced. Beans, notorious for causing farts, contain large amounts of oligosaccharides, sugars that humans cannot digest, and bacteria digest these, causing gas.

The answer to your question requires much information you have left out.  The best answer will come from a Gastroenterolgist or Internal Medicine Specialist.  You can look them up in the Yellow Pages.\n\nDo not ask a 'regular' doctor or GP.  That is like asking the Missouri weaterman about weather in China.  Better than asking the man in the street, but not nearly as good as asking someone who has extensive experience in China.\n\nAlways ask the most expert person when that is possible.\n\nYour condition sounds serious enough that you should carefully avoid amateurs and get only expert advice.

Classical causes of ulcers (tobacco smoking, blood groups, spices and a large array of strange things) are of relatively minor importance in the development of peptic ulcers.\n\nA major causative factor (75% of gastric and 90% of duodenal ulcers) is chronic inflammation due to Helicobacter pylori, a spirochaete that inhabits the antral mucosa and increases gastrin production. Gastrin, in turn, stimulates the production of gastric acid by parietal cells.\n\nAnother major cause is the use of NSAIDs.  The gastric mucosa protects itself from gastric acid with a layer of mucous, the secretion of which is stimulated by certain prostaglandins. NSAIDs block the function of cyclooxygenase 1 (cox-1), which is essential for the production of these prostaglandins. Newer NSAIDs (celecoxib, rofecoxib) only inhibit cox-2, which is less essential in the gastric mucosa, and roughly halve the risk of NSAID-related gastric ulceration.\n\nGlucocorticoids lead to atrophy of all epithelial tissues. Their role in ulcerogenesis is relatively small.\n\nStress in the psychological sense has not been proven to influence the development of peptic ulcers. Burns and head trauma, however, can lead to "stress ulcers", and it is reported in many patients who are on mechanical ventilation.\n\nSmoking leads to atherosclerosis and vascular spasms, causing vascular insufficiency and promoting the development of ulcers through ischemia.\n\nA family history is often present in duodenal ulcers, especially when blood group O is also present. Inheritance appears to be unimportant in gastric ulcers.\n\nMacroscopically: Gastric ulcer is most often localized on the lesser curvature of the stomach. It is a round to oval parietal defect ("hole"), 2 to 4 cm diameter, with a smooth base and perpendicular borders. These borders are not elevated or irreguliar as in gastric cancer - ulcerative form. Surrounding mucosa may present radial folds, as a consequence of the parietal scarring.\n\nMicroscopically: Gastric peptic ulcer is a mucosal defect which penetrates the muscularis mucosae and muscularis propria, produced by acid-pepsin aggression. Ulcer margins are perpendicular and present chronic gastritis. During the active phase, the base of the ulcer shows 4 zones: inflammatory exudate, fibrinoid necrosis, granulation tissue and fibrous tissue. The fibrous base of the ulcer may contain vessels with thickened wall or with thrombosis.

It must be something you are eating - do you eat alot of gassy vegtables like brocolli and cauliflower??? Try changing your diet a little bit and talk to your doctor about this -your stomache could be sensitive to a certain food - are you having heartburn or indegestion??? You could be having ulcers as well which may cause a person to become very gassy

it could be the foods you are eating:\nmost veggies will give you gas along with most beans.  If you are eating a high fiber diet that can also cause some gas.\n\nYou may want to try Bean-o to see if that works for you.\n\nIf not check with your MD.

My husband had that! It's called gastridous. An infection in the lining of the stomach. It hurt him real bad and he was laying on the floor throwing up one minute and dirreah(?spelling) the next. He went to the doctor and that's what it was. He has to watch how much sorrow stuff and pizza and real greasy hot foods that he eats, ecspecially late at night. But eventually it healed, and your brothers will too, if he follows good health instructions.

"A UAB researcher is investigating a potentially significant link between a very common stomach bacteria and the incidence of heart disease among African-Americans. The bacteria, helicobacter pylori or H. pylori, is found in the lining of the stomach."\n\n"Several studies have recently reported an association between ischaemic heart disease and Helicobacter pylori infection."\n\nBased on scientific studies, there does appear to be a link between the two but the link is a weak one.  Some people who have a severe episode of H. pylori can go on to develop heart disease but that is not always the case.  The effect of H. pylori on the heart depends on many factors.  Listed below are sites with much more info on this subject.  Hope that helps!
