Should you force someone who is ill to eat?!
Question: Should you force someone who is ill to eat!?
I have a stomach virus of sorts!. I am barely keeping anything down!. My friend says I should force myself and I will feel better!. What about drinking nutritional drinks like Ensure!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You want to stay hydrated, but you can live without food for several days!. Seldom will food actually help you feel better unless the major part of the vomiting is over!. Never force yourself to eat if you are vomiting as you could choke on the food!. Just keep taking in whatever fluids you can keep down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi !
Don't force yourself to eat anything but do try to keep liquids in your system!.!.!.nothing with acid content like apple juice!. Gatorade is good because it will replenish the electrolites in your system and help keep you hydrated!. If you can try to eat some crackers and when those stay down then you can try to eat other foods!. If it goes on for more than a couple of days go to the doctor!.
Hope you feel better soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ensure would be great, but I don't think it will stay down!. The first stuff to stay down is clear liquids!.!.water, broth, jello, Gatorade (petasure is better because it has less sugar)!. If you can't even keep clear liquids down, go to sleep and try tomorrow, if you still can't it's time to go to the hospital, because you'll be dehydrated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
~~No, your body will let you know when it has to have food!.
Drink lots of liquids though!. You can drink all the chicken and beef broths you want!. That is a meal replacement also as well as liquid yogurt if your stomach tolerates it!. The yogurt puts good bacteria back into you tummy!.
Liquids and sleep are the best cures for a virus!. Feel better soon!~~Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think forcing yourself to anyting will help you feel better, it seems to me that if anything it will make you feel worst!. Maybe your body is asking you to stop eating for a while, so it can put itself together again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
