Condition
Gastrointestinal Tract Infection
Gastroenteritis is an infection by a virus, bacterium, or parasite that inflames the stomach and intestines, causing diarrhea and vomiting that can leave the body short of fluid. Little research on supplements for it has been reviewed here so far, so there are no trial findings to report yet. Oral rehydration salts, probiotics, and zinc have the strongest evidence overall.
