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?

      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.

    You got sick by eating, clearly eating isn’t going to help matters.

    Your body’s autonomous functions are run by a meat computer that developed a few hundred million years ago and has only added functions on top of the existing architecture in a bubblegum and string affair.
