5. Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain has a wide range of causes, but it is also quite commonly found in people who have been exposed to the salmonella bacteria. Your digestive system is a complex machine that works to keep your body running.
When you eat your stomach will remove the nutrients from your food and then send the leftovers to your lower intestine and then your bowels to be disposed of. Most people are not actively aware of this process while it is being carried out, but a salmonella infection will change that, quickly.
When there is an irritation to the gut such as salmonella infection, it will make your stomach’s sensory systems kick into high gear. When the body detects a salmonella infection, it will do its best to expel it. Unfortunately, that means violent contractions that can cause varying degrees of abdominal pain. Medical professionals may mistake these cramps for appendicitis.
