Too sick to eat?

ashesfromfire

My stomach has been killing me all day. It's after 8pm and I haven't eaten yet. Should I try? I'm worried it'll all just come back up.

I'd start with something bland like crackers or jello or toast. When I'm sick, I eat whatever tastes good. Getting BETTER takes precedence over calories. Hope you feel better soon. I just got over a cold.

Sometimes the body doesn't want to deal with processing new food when its sick.

That's ok as long as its a short term thing.

Agreeing with bland foods... unbuttered toast or saltine crackers, clear liquids or broth (jello amazingly does count as a clear liquid), some flat 7-up or ginger ale might help if you can keep them down.

I was like that last weekend I drank as many cal as possible (protein, orange juice, etc.) and just let it run its course. I was ok after 2-3 days, and back to full strangth by mid week
