Question: cause i have it and im starving


Answers: cause i have it and im starving

If you really do have food poisoning it's not recommended to eat anything because your body needs time to flush out the bad stuff.
How long have you been food free for? You should be able to start eating after 24 hours of fasting, and lots of sleep after the food poisoning. It depends how bad your food poisoning was - if your stomach rumbles then it's ready for food.
Drink lots of hot tea (no milk). If you are really hungry eat dry crackers and clear soap to ease the hunger.

Your body will tell you when to eat. If you're hungry, try eating some cooked white rice and saltine crackers. I always found ginger ale stayed down pretty well.

if your not hungry,,,then dont eat, but if you are hungry, try something bland like chicken broth or Saltines

If you genuinely have food poisoning, then the last thing you want to do is eat, 'cos you feel so unwell. I don't think you have food poisoning, so eat.

Yes you can.
I had food poisoning and I ate OK.
it depends on what food poison it is... you might throw up after eating... but you still NEED to eat.
food poisoning can last for days, mine lasted over a week... so you still need to eat to keep up your strength
