Stomach flu and not eating.?
I got the stomach flu Saturday night and continued to throw up until early Monday morning. I still feel nauseous and have no interest in food. I am overweight but I have lost 15 lbs since Saturday. I don't want to make things worse but I still feel like crap. I am diabetic and am unable to keep my meds down so I am just drinking water, diet sprite, and sugar free sports drinks. Will I be okay for a few more days if I don't feel like eating anything

NO is your answer. But here are a few tips. If you feel nauseated, give your stomach a rest from food. Go to sleep or something. From this point, don't eat or drink anything for 2 hours. If you are vomiting, don't eat or drink anything for 4 hours. Take small sips of water then gradually work up to small amounts about half a cup maximum. If you want to eat, eat saltine crackers or dry toast. Just don't eat anything that looks gross...
By the way, to stop this from happening in the future clean your refrigerator and be sure to stack your foods safely and close them all tightly and avoid food your body cannot accept.
