Viral gastroenteritis or ‘stomach flu’ can have bothersome symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, which can lead to a loss of appetite, so it is recommended to watch what you eat and what is best avoided.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) says people with viral gastroenteritis should stay hydrated to replace lost fluids and electrolytes.
Symptoms of stomach flu include vomiting after eating or loss of appetite for a short period of time.. Once your appetite returns, you can resume eating normally, even if you still have diarrhea.
One piece of advice is not to force yourself to eat, as food may be the last thing on your mind when you have the stomach flu.
Laura Lippold, a family physician at the Cleveland Clinic, recommends that when you have a stomach virus and don’t want to eat, “focus first on recovery, rest and staying hydrated.”
Lippold advises people to only eat when they feel like eating and “stick to smaller meals and snacks at first.”
If a patient is vomiting, experts say it’s not time to eat yet.
Foods not recommended when you have a stomach flu:
Alcohol, spicy or overly seasoned foods, and acidic foods such as citrus fruits are also not recommended.
When nausea and diarrhea occur, it is best not to overstrain the abdomen.
