Any idea what Gastroenteritis is? Is it worse than a regular tummy ache?

Gastroenteritis (or stomach flu) is an intestinal infection in which your stomach and intestines are irritated and inflamed. These lead to diarrhea and vomiting. It is typically caused by a viral or bacterial infection through contact with someone infected, or ingesting contaminated food or water, or unwashed hands after going to the bathroom or changing a diaper. . Its symptoms, apart form diarrhea and vomiting, are stomach pain, cramping, fever, nausea, and headache. As with all diarrhea cases, watch out for dehydration. I’ve had this once and it feels worse than a regular tummy ache. I was up all night feeling nauseous on top of vomiting and having diarrhea. Also developed a fever leaving me all weak and feeling miserable the whole time. It happened a few years ago and yet I could still remember how terrible I felt.

Gastroenteritis is a catchall term for infection or irritation of the digestive tract, particularly the stomach and intestine. It is frequently referred to as the stomach or intestinal flu, although the influenza virus is not associated with this illness. Major symptoms include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. These symptoms are sometimes also accompanied by fever and overall weakness. Gastroenteritis typically lasts about three days. Adults usually recover without problem, but children, the elderly, and anyone with an underlying disease are more vulnerable to complications such as dehydration. Yes, I personally feel it's worse and it varies for different people.

Just as what Hui Qun had described, and it was just horrible. I literally parked myself next to the toilet bowl because I was either vomiting or pooping or both. By the end of it, my body was shaking because of the fever and I was feeling so weak from all the puking. I much prefer the regular tummyache to this.
