Share your health story

Answer a few questions about your goals and concerns. And, we'll gather your full health history from past providers.

Leave with clear next steps and a personalized care plan. If you need medication, labs, or to see a specialist, your clinician will take care of the details for you.

4

Own your health

Track your progress, schedule follow-ups, and adjust care as your needs evolve. Your care team and General AI is only a few taps away.

Virtual visit with clinician

Ongoing support, always available.

You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Our clinicians track your progress over time and adjust your care as needed. If medication is prescribed, we’ll manage dosing and monitor for side effects. If lab testing is recommended, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left to navigate care on your own.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between viral gastroenteritis and food poisoning?

Viral gastroenteritis typically has a 1–3 day incubation period and causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cramping — spreading person-to-person. Food poisoning from bacterial toxins often begins within hours of eating a specific meal, frequently causing more sudden and intense vomiting. Both are usually self-limiting.

How do I stay hydrated when I can't keep fluids down?

Sipping small amounts of oral rehydration solution every few minutes is more effective than drinking large volumes at once, which triggers vomiting. Ice chips help when liquids aren't tolerated. Sports drinks are a reasonable substitute but contain less ideal electrolyte ratios. Seek evaluation if unable to keep any fluids down for more than 24 hours.

Do I need to go to the emergency room for gastroenteritis?

Most cases are managed at home. Seek prompt evaluation for signs of significant dehydration (no urination for 8+ hours, dizziness, dry mouth, sunken eyes), high fever, blood in stool or vomit, severe abdominal pain, symptoms lasting beyond 5–7 days, or illness in an infant, young child, or immunocompromised person.

Should I take anti-diarrheal medication?

Loperamide can reduce stool frequency and is appropriate for non-bloody, non-febrile diarrhea in adults — helping manage symptoms while the illness resolves. It should not be used when bacterial infection with systemic features is suspected, as slowing gut motility can worsen some infections.

What side effects are associated with gastroenteritis treatments?

Oral rehydration solutions are very safe. Loperamide may cause constipation and bloating if overused. Antiemetics (ondansetron) are well tolerated — headache is the most common side effect. Antibiotics, when prescribed for specific bacterial causes, carry GI side effect and resistance considerations. Gastroenteritis visit What to expect from a Gastroenteritis visit
