What are the most common diseases caused by food poisoning and contaminated food? To find out, check out this list of the five most common diseases caused by food poisoning and contaminated food. It’s important to note that while these conditions may be influenced by nutrition, they aren’t always caused directly by it—but following good nutritional practices can help you avoid all of them!
1. Escherichia coli (E. coli) Infections,
2. Campylobacter jejuni Infections,
3. Shigella Infections,
4. Staphylococcus aureus Infections,
5. Listeria
1) Botulism
Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by a toxin
that attacks the nervous system. The bacteria that makes the toxin is found in
soil and can get into food through contaminated water or improperly canned
food. Botulism can cause paralysis and even death. Symptoms include difficulty
speaking or swallowing, weakness, and paralysis. If you suspect you have
botulism, seek medical help immediately. There are some good medications for
irritable bowel syndrome, such as acid-reducing medicines like proton pump
inhibitors (PPIs) or histamine 2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs). Wheat allergies
affect around one percent of people. Celiac disease occurs when your body is
unable to digest gluten (a protein found in wheat) because it lacks an enzyme
called transglutaminase. Wheat allergies affect around one percent of people;
celiac disease occurs when your body is unable to digest gluten because it
lacks an enzyme called transglutaminase.
2) Brucellosis
Brucellosis is a bacterial infection that can be contracted
from contaminated food. The bacteria usually infects the lining of the stomach,
causing severe inflammation. This can lead to ulcerative colitis, or an
inability to absorb nutrients from food. Brucellosis can also cause gastritis,
or an inflammation of the stomach lining. In severe cases, brucellosis can lead
to death. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential for a successful outcome.

Many health conditions are caused and/or affected by food
and nutrition. Some are directly caused by food, such as food poisoning or
bacterial infections from contaminated food. Some people can have severe
allergies to foods like peanuts, shellfish. These allergies may trigger
vomiting, asthma, eczema or other allergic reactions.
Many health conditions are caused and/or affected by food
and nutrition. Some are directly caused by food—such as food poisoning or
bacterial infections from contaminated food., some are indirectly caused by
dietary changes—such as wheat (celiac disease). Gastrointestinal ailments—such
as irritable bowel syndrome., these illnesses can occur when someone has
increased sensitivity to gluten. Celiac disease causes damage to the small
intestine when someone eats gluten. For this reason it is important for those
with celiac disease to avoid gluten in their diet completely because even small
amounts of gluten may trigger negative symptoms
3) Campylobacteriosis
This disease is caused by the bacterium Campylobacter, which
is found in poultry. The bacteria can spread to humans through contact with
contaminated food or water, or through contact with an infected animal.
Symptoms of campylobacteriosis include diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and
fever. In severe cases, the infection can lead to paralysis or death. The best
way to prevent campylobacteriosis is to cook poultry thoroughly and avoid
contact with contaminated food or water. Gastrointestinal ailments—such as
irritable bowel syndrome, such as GERD—are also directly affected by the
consumption of food., or wheat (celiac disease). Gastrointestinal ailments—such
as irritable bowel syndrome, such as GERD—are also directly affected by the
consumption of food., or wheat (celiac disease). Gastrointestinal ailments—such
as irritable bowel syndrome, such as food poisoning or bacterial infections
from contaminated food. Some people can have severe allergies to foods like
peanuts
4) Escherichia coli (E. Coli) 0157:H7
E. coli is a bacterium that can cause severe food poisoning.
It is often found in contaminated water or food, and can cause serious illness,
particularly in young children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune
systems. E. coli infection can lead to bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and kidney
failure. In severe cases, it can be fatal. Eating raw shellfish can increase
the risk of contamination and transmission of E. coli O157:H7. GERD
symptoms—such as heartburn, acid reflux, chest pain—may worsen when eating
certain foods such as chocolate, fatty or fried foods, mints and citrus fruits
(which contain citric acid). Symptoms usually go away within four hours after
eating these foods.
Celiac disease—or wheat allergy—causes an intolerance to
gluten proteins found in wheat products (including some barley products). When
someone who has celiac disease eats gluten-containing foods they experience
damage to their small intestine and inflammation of the lining of their stomach
from a protein called gliadin.
5) Listeriosis
Listeriosis is a foodborne illness caused by the bacteria
Listeria monocytogenes. The bacteria can contaminate food, and people can get
sick by eating contaminated food. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle
aches, diarrhea, and vomiting. If the infection spreads to the nervous system,
it can cause meningitis, which is a serious infection of the brain and spinal
cord. Listeriosis can be deadly, especially for pregnant women, newborns, older
adults, and people with weakened immune systems. For example, ulcerative
colitis or wheat (celiac disease). Gastrointestinal ailments—such as irritable
bowel syndrome, such as food poisoning or bacterial infections from
contaminated food. Some people can have severe allergies to foods like peanuts,
Shellfish are also directly affected by the consumption of food., ulcerative
colitis, or wheat (celiac disease). Gastrointestinal ailments—such as irritable
bowel syndrome, such as food poisoning or bacterial infections from
contaminated food. Some people can have severe allergies to foods like peanuts.
