so... recently i had food poisoning.
For about 2-4 days straight I pretty much lost immense amounts of water through diarrhea (3-4x a day) and sweating. My appetite was also non existent and anything i'd put into my stomach would make abdominal cramps that led to diarrhea worse. I know for a fact that diarrhea strips your body and muscles of any nutrients, and any incoming food's nutrients is sometimes not even processed.
i'd then wake up the next morning looking absolutely drained. My face had sunken in and my arms literally looked like they lost a good few inches, chest looked small and basically so did everything
As of now it's been 3 days since i've recovered, and i've basically been stuffing my face with carbs, drinking a crap ton of water and sports drinks. But thing is i'm still looking flat, my muscles obviously looked bigger than on the first day back but i've pretty much lost for example the roundness and fullness of my bicep. Strength wise I feel 1-3 reps less than would i could normally do in most exercises.
My question is does food poisoning deplete glycogen levels and any other substances such as creatine in the body? If so then i would understand the flatness situation more as these two factors also contribute to the 'fullness' look on muscles.
Also how long does it take to FULLY recover from a food poisoning and was there any chance that I lost muscle? (hard to believe in 2-4 days but still)
Cheers
