I had a tummy bug on Saturday and didn't eat or take any meds. The vomiting and other stuff has stopped but I still can't bring myself to eat. All I've had since Sunday is toast. My stomach still feels sore and I feel quite dizzy. I've now been off work for two days and can't really stay off any longer but can't go back feeling like this. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hi
You really do need to eat, probably cos you haven't eaten much your stomach has shrunk, maybe get some dry biscuits as well and gradually eat abit more or try putting something on the toast. It is a horrible feeling but not eating is not going to give you the energy you need and you will end up making yourself ill again. Have you tried having a dyralite to replace all the lost salts and minerals, i found years ago when i drunk one of these it made me feel alot better. Also you need to replace the lost fluids as this can make you feel ill as well (dehydration).
Hope you feel better soon

Thank you for taking the time to reply, Tracey. I took your suggestion, drinking more and had a little soup. I went in to work this morning and nearly turned back, but decided to stick it out. I've had a little more to eat - still not a lot, a little bit of white fish but I do feel better. I knew I had to eat but it was actually making myself do it that was a problem. I think I'm on the mend.
It sounds like the Virus that is going around.
It takes a while to get over, it took me three days before I actually felt well enough to eat, even then it was only a little, most unusual for me!
Fluids are important, you mustn't become dehydrated.
After doing some research I found out that hand gel is useless against viruses (virii?) so fat lot of good gelling your hands is as you go into a hospital.
Good old soap and hot water is the best defence.
