The clinical picture of the development of such a disease as enteritis, primarily depends on the etiology of the disease and the body's response. Under allergic and alimentary enteritis is meant inflammatory processes in the cavity of the small intestine, which are caused by an allergic reaction or poor digestibility of food.

First, you can notice dyspeptic disorders - lack of appetite, the emergence of nausea, in some cases, it is possible and vomiting, a feeling of heaviness in the epigastric region. After some time, the onset of painful sensations in the peri-pooch area will begin, accompanied by a noisy rumbling at the subsequent copious stool. Also, often with the alimentary form of the disease, the onset of common signs of intoxication begins.
Allergic enteritis occurs quite quickly - several hours after the food allergens have been introduced into the body. Simultaneously with the development of intestinal symptoms, there may be other signs, for example, hives or swelling. There are painful sensations, as well as with the alimentary type of the disease.

With constant diarrhea, signs of dehydration begin to appear: pallor of the skin, dry mucous membranes, a white coating appears on the tongue, and there are teeth marks. In addition, headaches, general weakness and other signs of intoxication begin to appear.
