stomach bug
Digestive tract infection
A stomach bug is an illness causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or cramping—typically a viral infection like norovirus, though the term covers any short-lived gastrointestinal upset: Half the office is out with a stomach bug.
The phrase is informal and imprecise, used when you're miserable but don't need a diagnosis.
