   This is often due to a disease known 
 as gastro-enteritis which may be caused
 by a bacteria or a virus. It is common 
 in the summer when flies spread germs  
 and also when travelling. There may be 
 intermittent abdominal pains.          
                                        
   TREATMENT                            
   Most attacks settle down within 24-48
 hours and the treatment is to allow the
 bowel to rest while maintaining your   
 fluid intake. You should avoid all food
 and drink small amounts of water every 
 few hours. When you are sure that you  
 are improving start with very light and
 easily digestible food, before resuming
 your usual diet.
