Does anyone else find it a daily struggle with food/liquids?..i lost my apetite and my thirst..i eat and drink water to take my medicine and sometimes thats it during the day..yes yes i know hydrate hydrate i know the deal but when ya just cant muster up the urge to drink a glass of water cuz ur lips are so damn cracked up from dehydration. its not just the lack of apetite its the nausea n distaste for the food/liquid as well.. i cant suck down a gallon of water n eat 3 square meals a day cuz dammit its unrealistic..i try man but this is ridiculous. i dont remember eating/drinkin much today at all..i could use an IV of fluids.. wat imNOT in the mood for is people at the ER telling me i need to eat n drink water. no shit. no freakin shit. if i could i wouldnt be here in the emergency room now would i??!!!??! "but ur a nurse u should know" ONCE AGAIN!!! just cuz u KNOW doesnt mean that ur able..

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I have it since my last flare a year ago. My lession is in the spinal cord and Dr said is part of what affect me. At the beginning all I ate was yogurt and boost, because the sensation of fullness. My psycologist and I worked on that. I have to write notes to remind me and set hours on alarm, eat without the hunger, Remember is for nourishment.
Now I recognise I haven't eaten because I get shaky and weaker.
Only a few times I feel ravenous, weird,,,its like someone flip the hunger switch, then I'm hungry even if I eat. Then I'm back to no feeling again. Same with liquids, but thats easier because I feel my mouth dry.
Sorry you have this, but plan and follow.

I have even worse appetite in hot weather.
Hope you find a solution soon

some days it's really hard. i never manage to eat three meals a day. i started drinking boost once a day b/c it has tons of vitamins we need and probiotics that might help w/ your digestion. they have a formula w/ 360 cals that might help....
it's maybe a 12oz bottle; sometimes i have to sip it slowly over a half hour, but it makes me feel better. (btw it's gluten free)
hope this helps and try to hang in there!
What about eating just fruit or something like that? My father was really sick with cancer treatment and he could eat fruit. Something healthy--anything healthy. My thoughts are with you.
