Signs Of An E.Coli Infection

Nausea And Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are sometimes present together with an E. coli infection. Nausea is feeling like you might get sick. Vomiting is regurgitating food from the stomach through the mouth. Though nausea and vomiting often accompany one another, vomiting from an E. coli infection is much rarer than nausea. The fact the disease invades the intestines means it is already too far past the stomach to induce vomiting. Often, vomiting will be present at the onset of infection and will decline as the patient's appetite declines over the course of infection. As noted previously, trying to rehydrate or introduce food too quickly can cause the stomach to eject its contents.
