I have a stomach flu. My government recommends me to eat as normally as possible.

I’ve generally had no appetite.

And the idea of eating foods, even bland, often makes me feel nauseous.

And when I do eat, I often want to puke what I ate.

Why does my body do this if I’m supposed to fill my guts with food?

    digestion is hard. have you tried drinking calories? veggie broth, protein shakes, and fruit juice are my go-to

      Thanks for the suggestions. I managed to eat and keep down bananas, bread, pasta, and rice with vegetables. Now thinking about the 3 last items makes me nauseous though. It seems like I always have to eat something else.

      To others suffering from the same disease and finding this: it’s recommended to avoid fruit juices high in sugar.
