3. Diarrhea
Another common symptom of salmonella infection is diarrhea. Diarrhea involves passing stools that are watery or loose. Diarrhea that is caused by an infection such as E. coli may be bloody. When salmonella is the cause of diarrhea there is typically no blood in it. Similar to vomiting, diarrhea that is caused by salmonella is because the salmonella is attacking the gastrointestinal tract.
The bacteria will interfere with gut. This can cause half-digested foods to be eliminated. Diarrhea can be caused by numerous viruses, infections, and other bacteria as well as food poisoning. If diarrhea persists for several hours it can cause many complications, including dehydration. Dehydration can cause some serious complications as your body needs fluids in order to function properly. If you have become dehydrated it is important to make sure that you seek medical attention in order to avoid further health issues.
