No appetite

Oh dear, , I'm sorry to hear that you're still waiting on a diagnosis. I was hoping our next update from you would be news of a diagnosis and path to treatment and relief! You are absolutely not alone in having no appetite and finding that every food goes right through you. I feel like I might've already shared this article with you, but I'm going to link it here again, just in case, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/feel-like-eating-nothing. I'm not sure if even any of these are foods you can tolerate right now, but I wanted to share it on the off chance something sounds like a possibility. Please know this community is here for you! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

I can recommend ginger and/or peppermint tea to drink and then sometimes that would help me feel a little better and then I could stomach some unsweetened stewed apples and then sometimes some mashed potato. Gentle soups are good too. I hope you get your diagnosis and feel better soon.

I have found that during a flare-up, it is hard for me to find something I can eat, and I do get very hungry. I drink warm liquid Jell-O. Sugar Free would probably be better, but I use the regular. There is a little bit of protein in it. That and tea is all I try the first entire day. Second day, I try hot cereal or mashed potatoes. Stay POSITIVE! It is hard, I know.

I favor orange or grape, but I will drink whatever I have. It sounds so odd, but I do recommend it to others. I love my sweets, so just tea doesn't always satisfy me.
