reason of stomach infection - #18992

Krishna

I am really worried about something that’s been happening lately. Few weeks ago, I started feeling this weird pain in my stomach and thought it was just something I ate. At first, it was just some mild cramps, but then I started experiencing nausea and vomiting! It felt like my whole body was revolting against me. I went to the doc, and they mentioned a possible stomach infection, but I'm confused about the reason of stomach infection. Like, how does that even happen? I eat pretty clean - or at least I thought I do. Is it possible that I caught this from a restaurant? I remember eating some sushi a couple of days before it hit me hard. Could that be the reason of stomach infection, or maybe I just had some bad leftovers? I’ve heard of other reasons of stomach infection too, like drinking dirty water or even stress?? What is even going on?? The testing showed some bacteria, but they didn't really explain how I could've gotten it. I never really thought about the reason of stomach infection before this. I just want to make sure I avoid it happening again... how can I prevent this, or is it just one of those things you can’t really control? Thanks for any insight!
