Differences between gastroenteritis and gastritis
Gastroenteritis is caused by bacteria and viruses that develop in the food and water that we ingest and that inflame the intestinal or stomach mucosa. It is contagious and in itself is not serious, however, without the necessary attention it can cause dehydration.
Gastritis responds to the infection of the stomach mucosa, caused by food and drinks but also by drugs and the consumption of alcohol, drugs or even stress. Unlike gastroenteritis, gastritis does not disappear until the agent that caused it is eliminated from the body and sometimes requires the use of medications that regulate the action of stomach acids.

Keys to Prevent Gastroenteritis and Gastritis
- Take care with what you feed: That’s right, not how or what. Since both illnesses are primarily foodborne, you will greatly reduce your chances of getting them if you wash, cook, and preserve your food properly. Pay close attention not to eat anything of dubious origin.
- Sterilize and boil the water that is consumed. The state of the water in ponds, rivers and others is something that cannot be properly controlled.
- Drink enough water: to maintain healthy fluid levels in your body and help the functioning of your intestinal and stomach organs.
- Reduce alcohol and drug use.
