Tummy bug... send help

[Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate]

Morning all! I've had D+V on and off since Tuesday. On and off as it started Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday I had no symptoms after 3am, then yesterday started bad, was fine in the middle then horrendous at little ones bed time.

I've woken up OK, but can't tell if my stomach is rumbling as I've not eaten since yesterday morning (that was a big mistake!) or because it's still off.

Would you eat? If so, what?

On the plus side it was weigh day this morning and I've lost 4lbs this week and finally hit 30lbs down 🥳

I'd eat a small amount of whatever you fancy. It's not recommended to 'starve a bug' anymore.

Make sure you keep hydrated.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you! Just having something now so hopefully I'm OK after this!

Go for something plain - the BRAT diet. I'd have toast or plain crisps.

Good luck. Get well soon! And congrats on your weight loss!!

I'd stick to the more plain things until you're feeling a bit better 😊 but plenty of fluids!!!

Hope you feel better soon!

@outdamnedspots Just googled the BRAT diet and will definitely bear that in mind in future! Thank you x

@Sameshitdifferentdayx thank you, I definitely need to drink more as I'm not a big drinker as it is! Keep leaving cups of water around the house 🙈 x

Avoid dairy for the time being. Poor you 💐

I'm exactly the same.. my water intake can be shocking! Haha x

How did you get on with eating something OP? I was about to start a thread called 'Stomach bug that leaves you feeling depressed?' because that's what I've had this week. Horrible sore stomach/intestines for 3 days which now feels better, but yesterday and today I feel really miserable. And I sleep but wake up feeling really tired.

Hope you're having a better time of it!

Thank you @MontyVerdi x

@Sameshitdifferentdayx we can both make our own challenge of drinking more.. I fear I won't do well 🙈 x

@baroqueandblue I'm bloody exhausted 😩 so far dinner and tea (or lunch and dinner....) have stayed down. There have been a few gurgling noises after eating, and I felt sick when I took DS for a walk earlier to get some fresh air, but (touch wood) all good so far today! Here's hoping you feel better soon too 💐 I completely forget how horrendous D&V is until I get it again! X

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate It's great to hear you've managed to keep your food down today 😃 Yep the walk and fresh air sounded a bit touch and go but well done for getting out, it's important and definitely helps once you're feeling up to it. I did too today and actually, since a long sleep this afternoon, my head is in a happier place ☺️ Fingers crossed we're on the mend! 🙏

@baroqueandblue so jealous you got a nap!! It's great feeling better after this, isn't it! Here's to tomorrow and both of us being even better still 😊
