Unwell and unable to eat. How to go about eating when I'm back to normal?

AbbieBeckett

Hey everyone, just need a little advice! I'm suffering with gastroenteritis at the minute, and I can't eat anything at all without vomiting. I've had a full day without food already and it will probably go on to tomorrow as well. I've been drinking rehydration sachets to keep my salts etc up. Hopefully I'll be back to normal after a couple of days. My question is, when I'm finally able to eat properly again should I eat more than my usual goals to make up for the days I've not eaten? Or should I just continue on as normal sticking to my goals?
Any advice is appreciated. I've never been sick like this before so I'm not too sure what to do.

I would try to go back to a normal schedule. I wouldn't try to "make up." I don't know that your body will be able to handle eating more than you normally would following having vomited for two days. Feel better!

Exactly this. Ease your body back into normal eating. Make sure if you have been vomiting a lot to get extra fluids, and make sure to get some electrolytes as well!
