Antibiotics- why am I ravenous?!

[NomNomNumNom]

I’m a week in to a 3 week course of strong antibiotics for an infection .

My appetite —and my waistline— has gone through the roof !

Is this normal ?

I was doing so well on a diet and now I’m full of Jaffa cakes

I find this too. I always reasoned that it’s the illness or infection making me hungry. Your body is healing right now, so maybe it just naturally needs more calories? Any excuse for a Jaffa cake!

Good to hear I have company with this !

I’ve scoffed an entire packet of Jaffa cakes and I could still eat more !

I’m so hungry !
