Can constipation be caused by a stomach virus?

Answer by  Kimi (432)

It is very unlikely for a stomach virus to cause constipation. Short term constipation is more often due to medication or supplements, diet, or hormonal imbalance.

The virus itself will not have caused constipation- however if you became dehydrated, stopped eating for a bit, etc you may become constipated. The very best solution, and best for your overall health it fluids, and prunes- don't think "ICK", prunes are just dried plums, and tasty. My mother would stew them briefly in water, and they are actually delicious.

Sometimes Constipation is caused by stomach virus or bacteria. Basically everybody knows about the bacteria, but there are very few paoples who know about the "D"-VIRUSES. These viruses causes constipation.

It is possible that a stomach virus can contribute to constipation. Usually, a stomach virus is more likely to cause diarrhea; however, as the body naturally fights off the virus, or medicine is administered, the body temperature increases to fever, stressing and slowing internal organs. This is a rare effect.
