I can’t eat

whenever I eat salads or just frozen vegetables, I get sick. Progectile vomiting. I eat healthy

But I don’t have an appetite for almost anything. When I get sick, I am crippled and so wherever I am it gets all over, the bed, my clothes et. I do eat watermelon, bing cherries, yogurt. That’s all I can

Eat. Does anyone have a problem with this? What can I do?

Thank you,

Avenger

You truly need to get to a nutritionist or dietician to help you. You need food that is good for you that will stay down. Please MAKE your doctor make the referral or call someone yourself.

You need to have this situation evaluated by a medical professional as a serious gastro condition could be present. Also as Bassetmommer said you need food that is good for you.

I'm vacillate between CKD stage 3 and 4 and I dont have much of an appetite either. However, I try to eat small healthy meals as best I can.

Keep us posted and let us know how things progress.

Sorry to hear this. 😞 you need some serious lab work.

First you need to go and see your doctor. Although some do have some vomiting with CKD, this is not normal. You need to find out what is causing this.Then as Bassetmommer suggested you need to see a dietician to work with you and your labs and come up with a proper diet.

I think labs are definitely needed. I'm sending all the healing thoughts, I know what this is like (unrelated condition) and it can feel so defeating. Hang in there, be patient with yourself and try expanding the food range and keep a strict food diary. Dietitian absolutely if possible.

You need a referral to a Gastroenterologist. You need testing and imaging to get to the bottom of things.

I doubt this is CKD related.

At least try drinking protein drinks like Ensure while waiting for your appt. The fruit you're eating has little caloric or nutritional value.

I hope you've call you Internist by now.

Good luck.
