hunger before flu?

[AmandaK618]

I'm just thinking back to when I've had the stomach virus and it seems like I've always had no appetite the day before getting it. So now if i feel hunger in my stomach i think "oh well I'm feeling hungry so i must not be coming down with the stomach flu." But then i realized that sounds ridiculous. Is this theory of mine true or just a myth?

No, not ridiculous. Anorexia (loss of appetite) often accompanies an illness. Doug

I find being hungry very reassuring, because I`m sure if I was coming down with a bug I`d have no appetite.

The last time I had a SV, I didn't eat dinner the night before. I wasn't hungry and didn't have an appetite. I didn't V* until the next morning. So I agree I find it a good thing to be hungry.

I'll get hungry and thirsty a day before I get a cold or something. The last 3 times I had a sv, I was having stomach issues for a week, or a few days before, so I wasn't eating anyway when I came down with it.
