Gastric

Today stomach kind of feeling very very sour and cramps since middle of night. Feeling quite bad hence went to see doctor this morning. Doc said that I have gastric flu. I never had such bad gastric for the rest of my life before. This was the first time my stomach felt very very sour. I read from this MOH website articles about Gastric Flu. Another medical term for gastric flu is Norovirus Gastroenteritis.

This means inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It may be caused by infection by certain bacteria, viruses or parasites. It may also be caused by certain medications or medical conditions. It can result in vomiting, diarrhoea or abdominal cramps. The symptoms are:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Abdominal
- Headache
- Muscle aches
- Tiredness
- Low-grade fever

Doctor have also instructed me to avoid spicy, sour and milk type of food. I had some medication and some rest today. Felt much better as compare to last night. Hopefully I will fully recover for my medical check up tomorrow. Feeling quite upset that it seems like I am easily fallen sick. Hmmmm from today onwards, more fruits and vegetables for me. For the past one week I have been eating fruits everyday, but I guess I did not eat enough. Another important thing that I should do is exercise. Hmmm.
