- Abdominal Soreness
Abdominal pain may be caused by a variety of conditions, but it is also one of the main indicators of salmonella infection. A properly functioning digestive system will process the food you consume to extract its nutrients. After processing, the waste will be sent to the intestines for elimination.
In a healthy system, this process occurs automatically; however, when salmonella is present, the process is disrupted. When a foreign agent, such as bacteria, is introduced into the digestive tract, the sensory organs go into overdrive.
The expectation is that your gut will eliminate the salmonella infection and restore its natural equilibrium. This process and the body’s attempt to combat infection can cause abdominal pain. This can manifest as cramping, acid reflux, or general discomfort. Because appendicitis causes the same symptom, a test is required for diagnosis.
