    The document discusses several gastrointestinal illnesses and infections including their symptoms, causes, and transmission. Diarrhea is characterized by loose, watery stools and can be caused by food intolerances, allergies, medications, viruses, bacteria, intestinal diseases or parasites. Dysentery specifically involves abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea caused by the Shigella bacteria spread through poor hygiene. Cholera results in rice-water stools and vomiting from the Vibrio cholerae bacteria often found in contaminated food or water. Hepatitis A causes fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, clay-colored stool and jaundice through a viral liver infection.
