How come, even if you've not eaten in a day, been sick a lot, you still are not hungry if you have food poisoning? I had some dodgy dinner last night, thought I was hungry this morning, brought my breakfast and the rest up and am not even that hungry despite not having kept food down since yesterday...why is this?

I plan to sip some Lucozade later as at the moment I am beginning to feel faint and can't keep water down.

The last thing I ate was some fruit. It stayed down for less than 15 minutes.

Its the bodys defence mechanism, it stops you adding to the load its dealing with (ie nasty food). It gives the body a chance to recover;

It's your body's defence mechanism protecting yourself. If you have bad bacteria in your gut,if you eat more food this too becomes rank so your body expels it through vomiting. Just try to keeps you fluid intake up esp if you start with the trots. Then eat a little of what you fancy,easily digested foods such as milk products are generally best though.

Your metabolism has slowed down as a result of the your sickness so it takes some time for your body to adjust and return to its normal state....but drink plenty of fluids and at only litle things at a time even if you are not hungry eat an apple or something light and fruity...

It looks like you have some kind of gastroenteritis. It's usually caused by poor hygiene (restaurant or consumer). Drink lots of electrolytes to stop dehydration. Eat mint-flavoured jelly or candy to soothe your taste buds. Black tea with sugar (no milk) helps to dry out the tract, if there is diarrhoea.
The dehydration may be causing the loss of appetite.
If your symptoms persist for over 24 hours, then please see a GP.

Then devour somewhat of what you fancy,extremely digested meals which includes milk products are frequently superb although.

Oooh! Sorry to hear you're not well.
It's a bummer when your food bites back like that. The good thing about crocodile is that it only tries to bite you before you eat it!
take care and hope you're feeling better soon.
