5 days with stomach flu and my weight went up?!?

jelleigh

Hey so I caught this not fun stomach bug last Sunday. Two days with fever and everything (EVERYTHING) on high speed through my body. The fever stopped after day two but the intestinal / stomach issues didn't. Essentially within 10-20 min of eating or drinking ANYTHING I found myself in the bathroom. (Sorry for all the sharing). I did my best to keep hydrated and keep putting nutritious food in, but I doubt it was much good since it didn't stay put. I logged everything anyhow and my week averaged out to maybe 1000 calories per day. You would think that after a week of that I would see a loss - even just if it was water weight but I actually went up! I know this is not a big deal (my focus is getting healthy again) but I'm more curious than anything else - anyone have any ideas what might have contributed to this?

Your body retains water when ill especially if a temp as to heal itself just take monthly weigh ins as the picture weekly isn't a big picture tbh

Was the food you ate rather salty ... like chicken noodle soup? That might account for some of it.
