10 Salmonella Symptoms
Symptom #4: Abdominal Pain
If you have abdominal pain it may be a symptom of salmonella infection. The function of the digestive system is to digest, absorb nutrients and remove waste. As long as it is not irritated, you will not notice the movements within the digestive system.
However, when irritation or an infection occurs, the gut’s sensory system causes it to go into overdrive. This is meant to clear the irritant from the digestive system. Salmonella infection can cause very violent contractions that may be mistaken for appendicitis.
