i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. gastroenteritis is no fun! of course i'm obligated to tell you that smoking marijuana is illegal except in states that allow medical marijuana usage and then only with a valid prescription. so i can't really comment on the effect of marijuana on symptoms of gastroenteritis other than to say the medical community really doesn't know the effect of marijuana on many conditions because the substance hasn't been studied all that much. as to your gastroenteritis you need to be aware it is contagious. if you work in a food-handling environment for example you should not return to work. if necessary have your manager speak to your doctor to explain why it's a bad idea for you to return to work until your gastroenteritis has completely cleared up. if you insist on going back to work it's imperative you wash your hands frequently with warm soapy water. do not share eating utensils towels or other objects with co-workers. disinfect all food preparation areas and surfaces you touch frequently. it would be a good idea for you to inform your co-workers about the gastroenteritis so they can join with you in washing their hands frequently in order to avoid transmitting this illness among the staff and customers. i hope you feel better soon!
