eating between 200-500 calories

Well she'll only lose water weight but I second the others on here in saying weight loss shouldn't even been considered if she's not well! Should be the last thing on anyone's mind.

It's worrying when someone becomes ill and weightloss becomes the primary concern. Hope you/she gets better very soon and I mean that in all senses. xxxx

Assuming this is real, eat BRAT: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. Plain, bland foods that are easy on the stomach. Stay hydrated with fluids with electrolytes, like Gatorade.

If there's no other medical complications, try Pepto Bismol or something similar to settle the stomach. If it lasts longer than a day or two, or if she's passing out sick, see a doctor.

What to eat when having tummybug:

Try drinking something? Hot soup, and even sugary drinks like coke or pepsi is better than no energy at all. Also try eating candy, berries or snack.. anything you can comfortably eat a small piece off to test how it goes down.

Normally anything you lose due to a tummy bug will be gained back as weight loss is mostly caused by dehydration.

If this is a serious post, then don't worry about whatever eating plan your friend is following. Yeah she will lose some weight but once she can eat normally it should be easily gained back, if losing weight is a worry for your friend.

Concentrate on getting fluid in to her. Sips of water frequently and if she can stomach it some of those dilutable sachets that add back salts and minerals to the body. Even things like ice pops (popsicles) can be helpful, I give my kids those if they have tummy bugs as it's a slow way of getting some fluid and sugar in to the body without too much at once.

If she gets to the point where she is hardly peeing or its very dark in colour then she needs to go get checked out at the hospital and probably fluids via IV.

Once she can stomach a little food, stick with plain things like crackers, dry toast and maybe some broth.

I was ill for 6 weeks this year and had to carefully watch what I ate otherwise it would upset my stomach. Pro biotic yoghurt seemed to help, fruit when you can manage it, or combine the two and make a smoothie. Rice to fill you up. Or if you're not up to that, eat crackers, oatcakes, biscuits. And keep drinking water. If you do lose any weight, you'll put it straight back on once you start eating again. But as a lifestyle, it's pretty miserable to live on that for a long time.

Also to all those as far as you claiming it's the OP...... ummmm ONE meal & your dying to scream ED? I know I got told I had a ED when I'd only logged one meal so far that day....lunch. Sorry but that oes not scream ED when the day beforehand is over 1400 cals for the whole day.

FFS....some people are just racing to the ED decision.

No, her PROFILE SAYS SHE HAS ED. Sheesh, who is it assuming *kitten* now?

Wait she has a tummy bug & most of you are saying she is going to pass out? Hello but a tummy bug usually means you cant keep anything down anyway & therefore MAKING a person eat is not going to be great for the person.

Shame on some of you. Eating is most likely the LAST thing this 'friend' can do without vomiting it all back up right away & making it very unpleasant.

Shame on the OP as well... seriously. Being sick & all you can think of is her stomach shrinking?????? Huh?

Ummm if you read the OP's profile she has an ED and her "friend" is most likely her....that is why everyone is telling her "friend" to eat more...Maybe you should read some of the posts before you blast everyone..

I actually read the posts..... why do you think I said shame one some of you? Really. As for your comment "and her "friend" is most likely her." then well MOST LIKELY is not proof it is.

Perhaps before you jump the gun...prove it.

Her profile says "i have an eating disorder and i go through pain everyday." Not much racing needed in this case.

Her profile says "I have a eating disorder..." Case Proved and closed...

The OP's diary is not public so there is no way to see what she has been eating..unless you are referring to your diary..??

It was public till everyone commented on it. Perhaps if people had seen more than just the last day.

sip water, get rehydration salts. When feeling up to it start eating bland food and avoid dairy as it can create bacteria. anything lost while sick will come back once eating properly and most will be dehydration.

It's not supposed to be for rehydration but I find it helps give me energy when I'm sick- Lucozade. Also ice lollies are good because they cool your tummy and you have to eat them slowly so it's like sipping a sugary drink!

Are you talking about your friend or yourself?

And then if you ha seen the diary before it was locked.... well let me say...she eats more than I do & I don't have an ED. Enough said.

So the op says in her profile she has an ED and you don't believe that but her diary shows her 1400 calories the day before and you choose to believe that. So the OP lies in her profile but logs accurately?

She also isnt perhaps having binge days followex by low days/normal days followed by low days? She couldn't be in recovery with slip ups? It is more likely to you that a girl claiming an ED is lying, logs accurately, and happens to have a sick friend eating 500 calories right now?

It was more than one day I'd seen. The OP had logged LUNCH so far on her diary & that was all people had looked at.... it was 196 cals so far eaten BY lunch time. I eat 140 for lunch on sushi days.... does that mean by lunchtime I have an ED as well????? Bloody hell.

So you do believe the OP is a liar in her profile but accurate in her diary?

im worried she'll lose weight because she is trying to gain instead and i dont want her belly to shrink

If 'she' does this for any length of time the belly won't shrink it will get distended. Think National Geographic pics of starving children...

The OP states she has an ED, plain as day.No one is talking about YOU. Like others have pointed out, I think it's odd she is more worried about her "friend's weight" than her "friend's" well being. I think she is talking about herself. And if it's true, what she is doing is dangerous. She could die.

Just stop, seriously, I dont see how this is helping in any way.

If this girl does have an ED then of course her log will show a good amount of calories eaten, that doesn't mean it actually happened though. Thats no reflection on her, its just the very nature of the disorder, they dont want anyone to know what they are actually eating.
