Virus vs Food Poison: The weakness is ,t least in part,due to dehydration.Rehydrate with lots of Pedialyte or Gatoraid.Eat simple carbs like white rice,toast,baked potato,for the first 24 hours when your appetite comes back.See doc if persists longer than another 24 hrs of if fever or bloody stools occur.
