My appetite has been worse lately. Usually I struggle with having to eat and I work really hard to make sure I eat healthy. Usually in flares I find this difficult, but the past week (not in flare) has been rough. I just eat toast. I feel like I have just giving in, so tired of fighting to eat food. I am a bit stressed out with a move coming up, could be that. I guess I'll watch it for another week or so because I know suppressed appetite can mean other things going on. :(

I have appetite problems too. It doesn't have to be tied to a flare. It can be stress, feeling more tired than usual or just because. I try not to worry about it as it usually resolves itself. I hope you feel better soon. Take care.

I also have appetite problems, mostly when I am stressed. I sometimes go weeks where I have to force feed myself. I eat alot of Campbell's chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers. It usually resolves once my stress level settles down.

My appetite seems to go when I am stressed too. Mine goes up and down with meds, exercise, fatigue etc. Definitely see your dr. if it doesn't get better in a few weeks or you have other new symptoms. When I am tired sometimes it is more about the work of buying or prepping food than eating. Try to buy easy stuff or ask for help if you live with someone willing. Try to keep hydrated since that is even more important than food. Gatorade or ensure get some calories in your system if you like those. My dr. said if you get like this just to let yourself eat or drink whatever you can. I hope you feel better soon.

We need to have food that's easy to eat. Frozen fruit, so that it won't go bad and you can use just a little at a time. Cottage cheese, apples and almonds. My mainstay is eggs, easy to eat. and spaghetti, sits nicely in the stomach. Ice cream, fruit yoghurts, must keep good food in the house and have a routine for eating. After a while your body will tell you what time it is! Wishing you better health, Abby
