What are diseases that cause diarrhea and/or vomiting?
Diseases that cause diarrhea with or without vomiting are called gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis means inflammation of the stomach and intestines. Gastroenteritis is an infection caused by a variety of germs that results in vomiting or diarrhea. It is often called the “stomach flu,” although it is not related to the flu (a respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus).
