This can be caused by many things, including viruses, bacteria, stress, chronic illness, overeating, and eating something that just didn’t agree with you. The highly contagious “stomach bug” is actually viral gastroenteritis caused by several types of viruses. The symptoms are similar to those from food poisoning, but the latter is caused by eating contaminated food and does not spread from person to person. Whatever the cause, it is vital to ensure adequate rest, nutrition, and hydration. As you’re recuperating, you should allow your stomach time to ease back into eating and start with simple foods such as those in the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) . Our RaiseRight Gift Card Program has begun for the 2024-2025 school year. Remember, all Service Scholarship families will be required to order enough gift cards to accumulate $50 worth of rebates for our school. Click here to learn more!
