Oof that's still not a fun thing to have D: Get better soon and absolutely do not get any worse!

I've got similar stories from my parents (particularly from Dad, seems Mum and her sisters spent a lot of time in and out of orphanages and boarding with relatives to ensure adequate food and shelter growing up) about having nothing to eat but rice and soy sauce (which came up as when my kids were small I would sometimes just make that for them either as a quick and easy lunch option and sometimes because they literally wouldn't eat anything else).
