Gastroenteritis, or “How I lost 4lbs in 24 hours and you can too!”

Gastroenteritis aka “Stomach Flu”, thank you for helping me lose 4lbs in 24 hours. Normally I like to sleep at night, but you reminded me that sleep is for the weak and I’ve been wasting too much of my life doing it.

It seems I could spend some time trying to gain back that 4lbs…

Because of the stomach’s swollen fragilility due to the disease, rehydration through the drinking of fluids must be slow and spaced out as to not overwhelm the stomach and cause further nausea and vomiting. Doctors recommend that one take slow sips every few minutes, and if vomiting still occurs, it’s best to refrain from any drinking or eating for the next half hour. the all knowing wikipedia
