Have you tried drinking a meal replacement shake.

Too heavy they won’t go down. I was talking to a Hyde at work and I am going to try some vegan recipes. She also suggested dive milk

How 'bout baby food? When my digestive tract is giving me fits, it provides me with wonderfully balanced nutrition that is as gentle on the stomach as a balanced diet can get. Some of them are downright nummy. You don't want to trust me alone with your baby tapioca.

When my stomach is at its worst, I start with the baby cereal mixed with plain water and work my way up to heavier add-ins. By the time I can handle mixing in fruit, I am generally ready for the veggies, etc.

Soda crackers and/or plain bread are another helpful for me. They absorb the excess acid in my stomach.

Keep nibbling, Kisses. Your stomach soothers are out there.

I don't know what dive milk is but most meal replacers are dairy based. You can try for the powdered stuff at health food stores but do read the labels. Is your problem that your tummy is nauseous or is it that you can't swallow? Anything heavy won't go down is too vague but I do find that soups help me when my stomach is upset and also juices, like veggie or fruit mix juices made in the blender with a banana. They even make yogurt out of soy, cashew or coconut. And sorbet is good, its frozen pureed fruit and sugar. I hope you are under the care of a doctor and I wish you the best.

Have you tried bone broth? I have found it to be nourishing and somewhat easy to palate, especially when I can choose to dilute it according to how much I am struggling with consuming anything. I have food aversion, which may be different from what you are experiencing, but I can relate to what you are going through. I found a very few things that did not make my stomach turn, and once I found them I would eat those things when I really could not eat anything else. I think it is good to talk to your doctor also to see if there are any underlying causes or help available for you. Good luck, it is so hard when you can’t eat!

I'm not a big eater, I'm very picky and I have a texture issue. And when I was a child food was always associated with punishment, because I didn't like to eat and it was waste, yada, yada, yada. So I can go without it with no bother...except the body needs fuel...bummer.

Sundays are my food prep days. I eat the same things every week, and I keep them ready in the fridge, because if I have to stop and prepare something, odds are the moment of tinge of hunger will pass and I'll just not eat.

Here's my keep in the fridge list:

Cucumber slices (English less seeds)
Mini baby carrots
Cantaloupe slices
Oiko's Greek Yogurt -Toasted Coconut vanilla (high protein) 2-3 per day
Jazz Apples - 1 each morning sliced for breakfast

Oatmeal - 2-3 times a week
Meat:
Chicken Breast - 2 per week
Smithfield Smoked Ham - 2-3 2 oz. slices per week
Beef Fillet - 1 every other week

Snacks:
Rice Chex tossed in a large freezer bag with 2 tbspn powdered sugar - last 1 week
1 pint Talenti Mediterranean Mint Gellato - last 1 week
Sunflower Seeds

I drink hot tea or sip hot chicken broth if my stomach is off, or will nibble saltines to have something in my stomach.

I keep Slimfast High Protein Chocolate Shakes in the fridge for days when I just can't deal with textures. They're lactose and gluten free and give me the Protein and vitamins i need when eating food is an issue. They have to be ice cold, but they taste better than most and aren't too thick.

I don't eat anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, no carbonation, and don't do milk or most carbs.

Most foods I eat are pretty bland, so even if I don't want to eat, I can munch them without my stomach complaining.

I meant rice milk

I can’t swallow or I’ll gag on a lot of foods. And other foods make me nauseous like toaster pastries

Kisses, you have been suffering with this for quite a while now. What does your Dr. say? Maybe it's time for a 2nd opinion. There could be something serious going on that needs to be addressed that your present Dr. is not seeing.

I don’t know who else to see. I’ve talked to my pdoc and my gp. Pdoc has no comment and go gave me something for the nausea and something to protect my stomach from the acids.

Did you ask for a referral to a Gastro specialist from your GP?

You need to be referred to a gastro specialist I agree and have some tests done.... an internist (internal medicine that specializes in gastro)

Drinks like Ensure and Boost aren't heavy kisses and they can be meal replacements.... You should drink several a day though... Probably about 5-6 a day

Miso soup. They sell powder packs In the Asian section of many grocery stores you just add hot water

I LOVE miso soup! Will Hve to look

Be careful kisses! Keep trying to stay nourished.... applesauce, toast, slim fast drinks have helped me before. I have learned my Poor appetite in the past only makes things more difficult while hypomania and mania sets in. There are meds out there that have these effects, not just psych meds but others..... and I would put that in a category of an unmanageable side effect..... because you need to eat!

Best wishes...hope something works soon.
