Frequent diarrhoea Diarrhoea & IBS Travelling & diarrhoea Infectious diarrhoea Find out what causes gastroenteritis and how to avoid it. Gastroenteritis is an infection of the stomach and intestines - it affects approximately 20% of people in the UK every year. Sometimes known as the winter vomiting bug, norovirus is a common viral cause of gastroenteritis in the UK and therefore a common cause of diarrhoea and vomiting. You should always be careful that food is cooked properly, you don’t leave food lying around and you wash your hands before eating.
