nausea after gastric virus Posted: 05-04-08 13:03pm
Im a 17 year old male. 2 months back i got
ill. i would have intense nausea after
eating anything and have a bad fever. i
lost 1 stone in weight. i was weak a
couldnt walk without needing to rest. i
was diagnosed with a gastric virus. today
the sytoms have almost gone
However, i sometimes still
feel ill after eating larger meals but
only in the evenings. Also i will sometime
get the fever back in the evening and feel
quite weak. i cant identify any particular
food which triggers it. Also after i do
1hrs worth of swimming i feel quite
lightheaded after, slightly disorientated
and roughly 20mins after i will get waves
where i feel like im about to pass out. i
also cant seem to put the 1 stone of
weight back on which i lost.
Before i had a normal diet
full of vegatables, milk and meat. Please
help im starting to get real annoyed with
this bloody thing!

Give yourself some time to recover from
that illness! That's a lot of weight to
lose, so I'm guessing that it was no easy
thing to pull yourself through. You may
have still have some of the effects of the
virus in you.
I think the problem is that by the end of
the day you are just weak and need to
rest. Try eating more, smaller meals
during the day instead of fewer, bigger
ones. I have this problem too that when I
am exhausted, I feel nauseated and just
need to go to sleep. It doesn't really
have too much to do with food: you body is
just shutting down and doesn't want the
extra task of digestion on it's plate.
It is important that you take your
vitamins every day, plus you might want to
up your intake of vitamin C, which will
help your immune system to recover. You
have to remember that you were VERY sick
and it might take just as long as you had
it to recover, and probably more. Take it
easy on yourself and try to sleep a little
more. Your body works on recuperating the
most when you are asleep.
