9 Days, very little food, Why?

I am a 25 year old female and 9 days ago at work I felt very hungry so ordered a large sandwich, I couldn't eat it all as I came over very hot and feeling very ill, since then I have barely been able to eat, I started with cold like symptoms, sickness and diarrhoea. Once the illness part of it past I felt absolutely fine, yet, I still can't eat much food at all, the smell of food makes me nauseous, I am getting heart burn all the time. I am drinking pleanty of water but eating no more than an egg cup full of food a day if I am lucky.
I have lost a stone in weight and feel quite tired most of the time which is bugging me as I am a very active person.
Does anybody have any idea what may be wrong with me?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Get to a doctor, you may have had gastroenteritis which caused gastroparesis (it is an uncommon, but possible complication).
