stomach flu ???

[chris250]

Well it had to happen I finally came down with what everyone else had and that was the nasty stomach virus that has been going around...It knocked me out for two days, and today Im starting to feel better overall, although my stomach is still sore...Anyway, my question is do you guys try to eat when your sick ??? I mean I tried to eat a little bit, but my stomach woundnt hold anything in at all...So I lost 9lbs over the last two days...I know I'll put that back on by the end of the week, but I hate that I just started to put on weight again, and to lose it just like that...

i had it for 24hrs, and it got me real good. felt pretty good to get the system cleaned out I suppose. Back on my feat within a day though, not too bad.

Happened to me last spring in mid-cycle. I lost 11 pounds in about 4 days. It was hell.....The weight did come right back, so don't worry too much. Wait till you feel better before working out or you may extend the problem.

had it a few months ago and the only thing I was able to keep down and made me feel any better was "unflavored whey and banana" in the blender..............had it about 6x a day and it was able to keep me strong enough to function until I got better

good luck

Now i am not sure if it was the flu I had or not:

Symptoms of Salmonella gastroenteritis include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, nausea, and/or vomiting. In mild cases diarrhea may be non-bloody, occur several times per day, and not be very voluminous; in severe cases it may be frequent, bloody and/or mucoid, and of high volume.

Fever generally occurs in the 100°F to 102°F (38°C to 39°C) range. Vomiting is less common than diarrhea. Headaches, myalgias (muscle pain), and arthralgias (joint pain) are often reported as well. Whereas the diarrhea typically lasts 24 to 72 hours, patients often report fatigue and other nonspecific symptoms lasting 7 days or longer.

I was the same way about a week ago...the only thing that my stomach could handle was whey protein shakes and oatmeal a couple of times per day. I can stomach oats even when nauseous and sick for some reason. I too lost a few pounds but it seems it's coming back quickly.
