No sensation of hunger after stomach illness?

I am recovering from a short stomach illness I had yesterday morning, and have not had the sensation of hunger. I don't want to call it a loss of appetite, as I feel like I CAN eat - and I do - without nausea. I just haven't had typical stomach grumbles or hunger pains as I would normal days.

As for the background of the stomach illness, I had waves of nausea all yesterday morning, and I did not eat. I vomited 4 times and felt better, but then had a fever of 100.5 and chills. The fever broke that evening and today I felt completely better, other than no appetite. I did not suffer diaherra and am thinking it MAY have been a very temporary bug or food poisoning (I had Chinese the previous evening but my partner, who ate at the same place, is fine). I was also in the ER for a relative that night and may have picked up something there.

Long story short, is this lack of appetite normal? Is my digestive track just trying to reboot?

Thanks in advance to all responses.

    This is very normal after just recovering from the stomach flu. just try to stay away from dairy products like milk, ice cream, yogurt, etc.. Every time I have a fever and feel sick to my stomach I don't usually feel like eating right away. It's nothing to worry about!
