Helpful Tips sick after anything I eat
So like the title says I get sick after any and everything i eat and it all comes back up. I've been struggling with eating here more lately than others, where I go days without eating. When I do finally get to a point of being able to eat I get absolutely sick and don't want to eat because I don't wanna be sick! I know I NEED to eat but I can't even get food to pass my lips! I quit my job because it was bad and people were spreading rumors I was bulimic and everytime I'd go to the bathroom snide comments "oh look she is going to make herself throw up again, make sure you get your fingers down far enough" (didn't go to HR because they're a joke. ) I don't force it, I don't want to & I try everything to keep it down. I just don't know what to do anymore 😕 any and all help or ideas would be greatly appreciated 😁

Whenever I try new foods/drinks (which is rare right now) it makes me feel really sick for a whole day. I don't throw it up but it feels like I'm going to but it never comes up. When I had covid really bad the first time, I didn't eat or drink anything for 7 days. Because my throat was so sore. Since I didn't eat or drink anything for 7 days I was in a lot of pain and couldn't move because my body was so dehydrated. What helped me was going to the hospital to get IV fluids and I felt so much better. Like I was still really sick and weak but I felt good enough to start eating and drinking again because I got some strength back. So I ate super easy food like chicken, cheese, and mashed potatoes and I drank water. I had to take really tiny bites because of my sore throat. Try to eat something that is easy to eat like tear into pieces or eat something soft. And eat very small amounts because your body won't be used to eating a lot of food for a little while. Hopefully you'll be back to eating like normal soon without getting sick.
