8. Dizzy Spells
During your recovery from the stomach flu, you may experience dizzy spells. This is because your body is probably completely drained of energy from the vomiting and diarrhea and the inability to stomach anything for energy. You will need to hydrate and nourish your body again with proper foods and clean water.
Depending on the individual, the dizzy spells may last a few days or up to two weeks. During this period, it is important to drink lots of water and maintain a light and clean diet. Stick to a diet of organic fruits, vegetables, and plain rice and avoid eating heavy and oily meals.
The vomiting and diarrhea may have ceased, but your stomach is still weak and may not have regained its optimal function. Therefore, do not rush back into your usual diet.
You may consider adding probiotic supplements into your diet or having plain yogurt to help with digestion. In fact, some people may experience constipation after their stomach flu.
