What Do Upset Stomach Post Food Intake And Low Appetite Suggest?
I threw up a little over a week ago after eating out at a restaurant. I thought it might have just been the food but no one else had problems. Since then, I only have found myself hungry after working from about 5-8 without eating dinner before going. Throughout the rest of the day the thought of food make me naseus and after I force myself to eat breakfast and lunch my stomach feels upset after. Is this something serious?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the issue of upset stomach post food intake and low appetite indicates possible infection of stomach or small intestine with bacteria or virus most likely. My guidelines at present:
- Drink more liquids including boiled water, lemon water, coconut water, butter milk in sessions
- Soft, easily digestible food stuffs with avoidance of spices, non veg, junk items, dairy fat
- prescription of anti emetic as ondancetron, proton pump inhibitor as omeprazole, GI specific antibiotic as cefixime or metronidazole with symptomatic care
- One may require blood tests as complete hemogram or serum Widal test as per the clinical progress
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
