Not particularly: Any such illness can drain their energy which is re-directed to healing during recovery. Small bursts of energy is a good sign. Focus on fluid support & easily digested foods . Applesauce is a good fluid/energy source that slows diarrhea.Bananas, rice, breads also aid recovery. The process often lasts a week or more.
