Enteritis is inflammation of your small intestine. The most common causes are viral and bacterial infections. Enteritis can also include your stomach (gastroenteritis) or your large intestine (enterocolitis).
Causes of Enterinies
Food poisoning
Eating spoiled or improperly cooked food can irritate and inflame the intestines.
Medications
Certain drugs such as antibiotics, NSAIDs (painkillers), and chemotherapy can damage the intestinal lining.
Autoimmune diseases
Conditions like Crohn’s disease or celiac disease can trigger chronic intestinal inflammation.
Radiation therapy
Radiation to the abdomen (for cancer treatment) can injure intestinal tissues, causing radiation enteritis.
In conclusion, symptoms of enteritis clear up within a few days in most cases. Severe cases, such as those involving dehydration, may require treatment in a hospital. In many cases, prevention of enteritis is possible by practicing good hygiene and handling food carefully. All information are gotten from HealthLine clinics.
