10. Loss of Appetite
Logically, people experiencing symptoms of a stomach bug will have a decrease in appetite. Sudden appetite loss combined with nausea is a warning sign from the body. If the thought of food makes someone feel sick to the stomach, it could be a stomach bug.
Food can provide the much-needed sustenance to support the body’s immune system. Healthy foods can help increase energy levels and aid in the fight against a stomach bug.
