hi everyone!!
I've been having some issues with appetite and food lately which concerns me because I just started a new medication that could make it worse.
My stomach got trashed last year by a very strong anti-inflammatory and I see the surgeon next month. My stomach is bleeding and is very painful without the stomach protection medications I take. The stomach protection med isn't always enough anymore, but it still helps a lot. I will be having an upper GI for sure and from there I'm not sure. My pharmacist is concerned that I could have an infection because of the amount of pain and that it's getting worse over time.
Either my stomach issue or one of my medications is causing me not to have much of an appetite. This has gotten worse over time. I'm also having trouble tolerating more types of food. I got ill mid bite last week at the table when I was having meatballs and I nearly threw up again tonight after eating a small piece of steak. It tasted rancid when I ate it even though I prepared it well and the family loved it. I'm even feeling pukey again typing this.
Have any of you had this happen? I've bought protein powder and the stuff to make shakes but that's not a long term solution. Or a complete solution. I guess I could have a shake every day for breakfast, but they can't be all I have.
I have just started a scary new medication that can cause weight loss and is sometimes prescribed for it so I'm worried. If my headaches weren't so hideous, I wouldn't risk it, but I need them to stop.
Have any of you had this happen? Or have any suggestions for food or supplements I could try?
