6. Stomach Flu

People who contract viral gastroenteritis, which is known as the stomach flu, experience nausea. It’s commonly spread between infected people or by eating or drinking contaminated food and water.

The two most common forms of gastroenteritis are noroviruses and the rotavirus. Symptoms that accompany nausea include vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, headaches and a low-grade fever. Most individuals recover without complications in a few days. Some people may have lingering effects for up to 10 days.7‘Viral Gastroenteritis (Stomach Flu).’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 16 Oct. 2018, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/viral-gastroenteritis/symptoms-causes/syc-20378847
