There are numerous common complaints that are caused by the digestive tract and are briefly referred to as “gastrointestinal”. These include above all nausea and vomiting, as well as cramps, diarrhoea and flatulence. In many cases, the symptoms are caused by a gastrointestinal flu or an infection.
This is mainly caused by viruses and is usually self-limiting, which means that the symptoms subside by themselves after a few days. If there is no improvement, a medical clarification should be made, as other diseases can also lead to the described complaints. First, however, an independent treatment with various homeopathic remedies can be attempted.
