No appetite
I have no appetite and don't feel hungry. Don't know what to eat as everything goes right through me. Evan plain easy foods. Still waiting on IBD diagnosis.
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.
Thanks for sharing your recommendations and tips,
! It can be so helpful to know what others suggest or has helped them. We appreciate having such helpful and supportive community members like you. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
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.
thank you for sharing! I recently saw Starburst flavored jell-o in my food store and it looked so good. Do you have a favorite flavor? Sending those positive thoughts back you way. Warmly, Erin (team member)
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.
