What gives you appetite?

It’s been hours past dinner time but I can’t get myself to eat anything… I lost interest in food lately. 😔

Hi Pompom22, actually the more we don't eat, the less we want to.Nutrients are important to keep our body/mind functioning properly

as well as in keeping our immune system well.

It is always in your best interest in seeing your doctor and ruling out

any physical issues causing this. If it is psychological, than whether eating

in smaller portions throughout the day or drinking a supplement drink, it

can gets those juices started once again in your stomach.

Our stomach reacts to food, digestion and well being of feeling full.

When we don't eat, it effects both our body and our mind.

Check with your doctor if this continues. We want to keep you safe and healthy xx

Ty Agora1. It’s a mental thing that stops me from working up my appetite to eat. Plus I’m allergic to many things so I can’t have supplement drinks. Don’t know what else to do…😔

[Agora1 in reply to Hidden]

I understand but then you must call your doctor who can advise you as inhow to address this. Your nutrition as well as hydration is very important. xx

In the throes of my illness I often go 4 to 5 days with food. I can keep hydrated. That’s vital! Can’t eat, can’t sleep, mind racing, grasping the worse thoughts & dissecting them; I suffer big time. Pompom, you got my compassion & understanding

Ty SalamancaJoe. When my head is spinning with thoughts I can’t eat but I’m going to try to sleep now. 😔

In a word .. weed

This is a highly controversial method as it is still not legal in every country/state.

I do enjoy making grilled cheese sandwiches with weed butter. The food provides me with sustenance as well as providing some anxiety relief.

Talk to your doctor to see if this is a viable option for you. You may find different results than I have but do not lose faith that there is something out there to help you. Finding all the wrong ways to do things narrows down the search. Eventually the right way will present itself.

Ty 10135. Very interesting I’ve never heard of weed butter before and I don’t think they offer over here. My doctor suggested me cbd oil with thc tincture and I’m considering to try out this weekend.

[101315 in reply to Hidden]

The process is just to blend keif into the butter and then use that butter to cook with. Grilled cheese is perfect for this. Or put butter on your baked potato or veggies. You could use cbd oil in your cooking as well.

[Hidden in reply to 101315]

I don’t have keif atm but that’s actually a good idea I might use cbd oil in salad dressing or something.

[101315 in reply to Hidden]

I have to reiterate that this method will not be for everyone. Despite how well it works for me, your body and mind may react quite differently.

If it fails, just eat plenty of popcorn, unbuttered. 😁

[Hidden in reply to 101315]

My doctor warned me the side effect I might get the run 😂 and extra sleep hours which I’m all for it. 😁

Start drinking water, then work your way up to crackers, then work your way up to snack bars, then work your way up to more normal food.

Each increment try to do when you can, but your body needs food. (and at the very least, give it water and stay hydrated)

[Hidden in reply to AnxiousSilver]

Ty AnxiousSilver. I do drink water throughout the day, just no appetite. I managed some fruits salad at work today.

[AnxiousSilver in reply to Hidden]

"I managed some fruits salad at work today. "

Hey, that's cool.

I'm proud of you.

[Hidden in reply to AnxiousSilver]

Ty. You’re so kind.

[Hidden]

Pompom22, you’ve been quiet. You OK? Eating a big stuffed turkey? Let me hear from you, ok?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Ty SalamancaJoe. Just busy working today and hopefully this weekend I can relax a bit.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hope ya check on me. Never know where my mind might be. Make sure to just try eating a little something. And the fluids. I can always drink, even with zero appetite. Check ya later. Nite Nite

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Ty. You’re so kind. Have good evening.
