Food poisoning recovery and hosting 12 tomorrow

sadly I seemed to come down with food poisoning on wed night / Thursday and have been feeling not 100% since then

we are hosting 12 this year and it feels like the worst timing. All I have eaten in the last two days is four bits of plain toast and last night I just about managed plain chicken and rice

any advice would be much appreciated!
I am roping in my husband and parents as much a possible to help …

if anyone knows how to speed up recovery from food poisoning that would also be great!

thank you!

Are you still being sick?

If you are still unwell in any manner you need to cancel. It’s not fair on you or anyone else.

If you're still unwell you need to cancel ASAP so people can get food in or try and make alternative plans.

Leaving it so last minute is quite unfair on your guests.

Food poisoning can be contagious

I’m not being sick - I just feel weak and off my food. I stopped being sick on Wednesday night.

Are you sure it's food poisoning?

Tbf you shouldn't be cooking anything for risk of others all getting ill

Even if you're not actually throwing up you acknowledge you're not feeling well so it would be unfair to have people over and cook for them when you're sick.

Also you really don't know for sure if it's good poising it could well be one of the many sickness bugs doing the rounds.
