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?
Because your appetite is largely controlled by your gut microbes, not your own body.
And those microbes are now dead.
Not dead but fighting their own battle.
