So a few weeks ago, I got an injury during martial arts training. A small one at my finger. I was stupid and didn't immediately disinfect it.
Result: infected wound. Agressive infection that required agressive antibiotics. These antibiotics wiped out my gut flora and caused some annoying bacterium called C-Diff to wreak havoc in my gut... f'ing figures.
To remedy this bacterium (normal stomach flu's are usually viral and less serious), I had to take yet another antibiotic which I finished today.
Anyway, it made me sick for about a week. For a week straight, I ate nothing but toasts, some cooked fish and rice.
Obviously, I lost a couple of kilos. No big deal. it's kinda normal when you got a stomach bug right.
I've been feeling better for over a week now and my eating pattern has returned to normal since a few days. Last week I decided to work out again... did two heavy workouts in a few days time but now I noticed how I lost almost a kilo... again! It's kinda worrying. Shouldn't I have gained again since I'm eating normally since a few days? Or is my body still in "exhaust mode" and I should give it a rest for a few weeks?
F*k I hate stomach flu.
