Gastroenteritis: It's a stomach virus, that can cause vomiting and/or diarrhea. Can last a few hrs to up to a week in some cases. Diet is crucial to getting better. Bland food like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, broiled/grilled chicken. Nothing fried or fatty. Avoid dairy and juices. Can give Pedialyte or Gatorade depending on the age.
