Virus: A viral infection was likely causing both respiratory tract involvement and gastroenteritis. If upper abdominal burning discomfort persists, follow a bland diet, avoid alcohol,caffeine,nicotine, aspirin and nsaids like ibuprofen and continue pepcid or switch to prilosec. See your physician if symptoms persist or if stools turn black which can indicate bleeding from the upper gi tract.
