You didn't post what you eat each day but not having any protein is certainly going to exhaust you. Protein is the fuel, our big energy source. I was certainly dragging around the first 10 days on that BRAT diet although along with the tea and acacia, it definitely stopped the painful diarrhea pain spasms.

Once I could get some protein several times a day, that terrible fatigue lifted. As I understand it we need at enough protein about the size of a pack of cards, three times a day. Since I am eating many smaller meals, this is easy to get down. I started by boiling skinless chicken breasts, 3 at a time. THat gave me enough chicken to dice up and spread out from morning to night. I also ate egg white slices after hard boiling the eggs. You get as much protein in the white as the yellow.

See if you can handle protein, a small amount without problems once you get stabilized.
Best wishes, Virag
