Camping Stomach Bug or Food Poisoning?

Virtual Care for Upset Stomachs

A weekend camping trip or backyard barbecue should leave you with great memories—not nausea, stomach cramps, or frequent trips to the restroom. During the summer, food that sits out too long, undercooked meals, or contaminated water can sometimes lead to stomach illnesses. Viral stomach bugs can also spread quickly among family members or groups spending time together outdoors.

Symptoms from foodborne illness and viral stomach infections can be very similar, making it difficult to know exactly what's causing your discomfort. While many mild cases improve with rest and fluids, persistent or worsening symptoms deserve medical attention.

Common symptoms may include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Stomach cramps
• Loss of appetite
• Mild fever
• Fatigue

VirtualCare2Go makes it easy to connect with a licensed Texas provider from your home, cabin, campsite, hotel, or vacation rental. During your virtual visit, your provider can review your symptoms, recommend supportive care, discuss hydration and recovery, and determine whether additional evaluation or treatment may be appropriate.

Seek immediate emergency medical care if you experience severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, bloody diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, confusion, fainting, high fever, or any other life-threatening symptoms.

Don't let an upset stomach interrupt your summer plans. Convenient virtual care is available throughout Texas when you need it.
