I just returned from a family reunion and now several of us are sick with a gastroenteritis-like thing. what could be causing it?

Stomach Flu: It is either a viral infection that we call the stomach flu or there was some contaminated food...So food poisoning. Both are usually not too severe and are gone fairly quickly without treatment.
