Eating

[BodyButter]

I had a really high fever which started last Tuesday. I didn't eat anything on Tuesday. I think I had a slice of toast of Wednesday and a small bowl of porridge on Thursday. Yesterday was a big day, I ate a bowl and a half of soup. The fever is gone but I'm struggling to eat properly again and it leaves me feeling weak and sick. After a couple of bites of anything I feel full. Has anyone else had this before? Should I be taking medicine or is there something else I should be doing?

I'm normally a pretty big eater so I find this whole thing very strange.

I expect you just need to get your stomache used to taking food again after a few days with very little. Over do it and you'll likely end up with constipation or the runs. If I was you I'd stick to simple, plain food, eating a little, often and build it up from there.

You shouldn't eat ceramics mate.

And do you eat or drink soup?

Try some eggs.... Help your stomach get used to food again and they're good for you.

Yup, start with light food like soup, bit of salad or fruit etc.

Very normal after having a stomach bug.

Yes as all the others have said. What is needed is light food, soup, eggs, toast. You will soon be back to normal.

Reminds me of what my late Mom would give me and how I recovered, as I did with my youngsters. They still do the same today when they unwell. Always, always they change the bed sheets after they been ill. Well those do who don't live at home now. Still do Dec's when he has been ill.

Remember Mom always saying 'when you been ill, you need to change the sheets a couple of times in a few days and once on the day when you have stopped vomiting etc. as the bed will be full of germs.

Amazing how things stick with you )
