How likely is it to catch a stomach bug this often without being around others that are sick? could it be reflux? she has no dhiariah.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It happens: The "likeliness" is not known, but it happens. A child with symptoms suggestive of a "stomach bug", meaning an infection with some sort of virus or bacteria that causes stomach symptoms, can happen from contact with surfaces, such as doorknobs, toys, and other people who don't look sick. Infections can also come from foods and drinks that contain the germs or the toxins produced by the germs.
