What is the longest you have gone without eating and what was the reason?

63. Years ago, as a teenager, I got violently ill while my family was visiting Spain.

Absolutely could not keep anything down. I found I could drink fizzy water, orange fizzy pop, and I could eat popsicles.

But no food for almost a week. Finally, when I could get something down, it was what the Spaniards called a torpedo roll - just bread...then I was able to add ham, then cheese. I was a skinny kid anyway, but wow, I was a rail when we returned to the US! Funny, we were there when Nixon resigned. On my birthday. A memorable trip.

Lol, it’s still my go-to cure if I get sick.

You HAVE to drink something Doreen. Try ginger ale, regular coke (with the real sugar not fake crap), Perrier. Club soda with lemon. Anything. You GOTTA drink some kind of fluid. It’s funny that I’m not a coke drinker, but if I don’t feel well, it works for me.

Take care of yourself!
