I’ve been sick with a stomach virus I think of some kind, that’s why I haven’t been eating. I decided to brave food a little early even possibly if anything so I can’t really go all out yet

Then drink your food. Lactose-free milk or coconut/almond milk with mashed fruits for example. If you add natural yoghurt it helps strengthen your gut flora after the infection. I've learned that the stomach can be 'bitchy' after an infection. Especially when you got synthetic antibiotics your gut flora is often badly affected. The body tries to save this area by refusing food for a short while. But drinking should work.

If you like nuts, especially brazil nuts, eat them. Even just a few brazil nuts have much more power than your unintentional 'banana diet'.

I’ve been drinking Gatorade (yeah also not the healthiest, but it’s liquid and more digestible than a lot of things as well as containing electrolytes) and even that was too hard for me until midday in more than very small quantities. I don’t know about Brazil nuts specifically and I haven’t even seen them at the store we frequent, but nuts generally are not good for stomach flu I believe because of the fat content, not certain about that but that’s what I’ve read pretty sure. I’m probably not going to exclusively eat this piece of banana for the rest of the day, but bananas are recommended for a reason when having stomach problems. So I’m experimenting with a nice bland food in small quantities to start before making more choices for certain about what to eat Plus bananas are potassium rich which I need right now most likely

On the contrary, healthy fats like the ones you find in nuts (and also coconuts!) are one the best things you can do for your gut flora. There's even a diet based on these fats (Ketogenic Diet).

Don't confuse the fat in nuts or fish with the fat in pork.

Why do you need fats? Fats have been much misaligned, often without a rigorous scientific basis. But in fact, eating the right balance of healthy fats in the correct way is vital to good health. This is because… Your body needs to obtain some fats from food as it doesn’t make them itself Fa

Even so, I don't think the diet in mind was necessarily made with the needs of someone who is recovering from stomach flu in mind, and more so someone who is able to digest foods well.
I'll try to eat what I can sure, but I have also been unable to for an extended time so I can't exactly go back to typical eating habits/amounts (not even a quarter reasonably, it's already questionable enough trying to eat in general imo for me). But I do appreciate the concern, and will try to eat more as the days go on and I improve.

Better for you than gator-aid by far. Doctors actually prescribe it but you can get it at Walmart and most pharmacies. It's usually next to pedia-lite.

I know Gatorade isn't the best option out of them all. I just remembered right before someone left to get my meds and picked as the choice Gatorade because it was the name I knew best and it was definitely going to be available where they were shopping no question rather than having to go out of their way to look for it.

Sometimes I sound like a mixture of my mother and my doctor.

Sorry for that.

Honestly I didn’t mind other than that my mom kept making delicious dishes unlike usual (where I make delicious dishes, but I like hers more sometimes). Hunger wasn’t a thing for me.

At this point she qualifies and a mindless zombie who'll gladly eat you raw!
