One of the common symptoms of gastroenteritis is severe diarrhea. It is the main reason for dehydration. You also suffer stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and fever. Due to this continuous pain there is loss of appetite, fever or chills. You also endure body ache as well as stiffness of your joints. There is lack of stool control. Dark color urine should ring a bell. It is very important that you wash your hands once you have been to the bathroom. By keeping your kitchen spic and span you can avoid any causes of infection. Drink boiled or bottled water. Avoid food which is half-cooked especially seafood.
Children are the common patients of gastroenteritis and special care has to be taken for that. Due to loss of fluids it is very important that the child remains dehydrated by constant intake of fluids. Take plenty of rest. Consume at least eight to ten glasses of water everyday. Avoid spicy food and eat more of vegetables. Plain and simple food may go a long way.
Some Home Remedies
You can make concoction by using eight ounces of fruit juice (one, which won't escalate your gastro problem), 1/2 tsp honey, corn syrup and a pinch of salt, mixed in a glass. In another glass you can have 8 ounces of purified water with 1/4 tsp baking soda. Drink alternately from each glass until it’s over.
Having clay mixed with water is very good to prevent gastro.
Campfire ash used also helps due to its astringent and drying-up effect when brewed in tea.
Blackberry root when made into a tea can assist with your gastro problem.

Help Identify Problem with 7 Year Old Please!
By: Keith | 16-08-2008
My seven year old woke up at crying and in severe pain at 2:00 AM last night (early Saturday morning) with diarrhea, very sore stomach (maybe cramping), fever around 101, very bad headache...... back of head hurt as well as the front of his head (forehead and temples).
Today he has had a low grade (100) fever, headache, and some stomach ache, and periodic diarrhea about 2 1/2 hours apart. He has had no nausea or vomiting. Treating fever and headache with Tylenol and Ibuprofen as directed.
His brother, mother, and myself have no symptoms at all.
He had chicken salad at 11:00 AM on friday at school and grilled pork ribs with the family for dinner around 6:30 PM. Notheing else to drink before bed.
What could have caused this.... most of what I have read and experienced suggests that if he has food poisoning he would most likely be nauseated and/or vomiting.
