Tag: Norovirus recovery

Norovirus, commonly known as the 'stomach flu', is a highly contagious virus that typically causes acute symptoms lasting 1 to 3 days. While the worst symptoms often subside quickly, the digestive system needs a gentle transition back to normal eating, so the timeline for when you can eat normally again depends on your body's individual recovery.

According to the CDC, norovirus is the leading cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks in the United States, so many people find themselves in a state of digestive distress. The period immediately after the worst symptoms subside is critical, and knowing **what not to eat after norovirus** is just as important as knowing what to consume to soothe your stomach and promote healing.
