Lack of appetite

Women's health
1

Sometimes I have no appetite at all, like today, there is nothing, and I mean nothing that I feel like

this is truly out of character for me

does anyone else feel like this too?

STRANGEeek

2

This is happening more and more which is unusual for me. Normally say on the sea food diet - I see it I eat it smile

I've never been a foodie but since being in peri i have no appetite at all and struggle to eat but have to cos i'm hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) so have to eat little and often so you can imagine how hard it is when you don't feel like anything.  I go round the supermarket and try and find something to tempt me but nothing does.  Yes its strange eekrolleyes i agree, just try and eat little bit or you'll get ill like i did by not eating properly.  take care hun x

oh laurie its al lso horrible for us isnt it.  i too feel sick when i've eaten, i cant win i force myself to eat a little something then feel sick after itfrown and my stomach is so loud i'm sure theres a wild animal trying to get out. I have periods of not sleeping but i must say for the last few days i've been ok, i do wake a lot but seem to get back to sleep quite quickly which is helpful when you work full time and have to be alert at work. Dont be sorry at all thats what we need to do sometimes....vent away hun.sending you love and speak soon x

I'm going through the not wanting to eat thing too - wake up with acid reflux and gurgling stomach. Apparently this is pretty common. Anyone had this as a symptom of peri and it eventually went away?

Bonsoir Margbob cheesygrin

                                   I feel like I've been telling porkies, yesterday I felt just like you and (often do) nowadays but today I have felt hungry, went for an hours walk in the fresh air and have been peckish since, maybe that is the answer, fresh air......................

                        hope your soon feeling OK again, it's like being on a Bl***y roller coaster isn't it, moods, appetite probs, achey limbs eek

                        Nite hun xxx

It sure is MrsMerm! I've had the indigestion issue for several weeks now - think I definitely make it worse by all the stressing I'm doing. That, and getting hardly any sleep due to waking at night with all the other fun peri symptoms!

The bloodwork I had yesterday didn't show anything untoward, so I'm just trying to stay calm, but it's so easy to convince yourself that you've got some horrible disease. I've had just about every symptom I've seen mentioned on these boards, but this reflux/IBS thing is by far the worst!

Thank you so much for replying MrsMerm - hope you're doing well!

Hi MrsMerm,

Since this freight train hit me around 6 weeks ago I too have been subject to lack of appetite. i also have waves of nausea and empty retching. this can happen as I walk around the supermarket, very embarrasssing!!!

I have also embarked on a new fitness regime. I am annual leave at the moment and have emabrked on some walks around the local park/neighbourhood. I find if I get anxious this helps. My hubby will often come along and it gives us a chance to talk without distraction.Hasn't helped the appetite or sleeping yet but early days.Hope this helps wink

Reflux is a bugger, and stressing doesn't help. Try to sleep slightly raised as being flat will make it worse.

16

Fresh air should help the sleep so walking outside is good

17

Lets hope so!!!

18

Fresh air, definately helps sleep I slept like a baby last night idea

Keep walking...............................

Hi Margbob,

                     maybe you should try Colpermin (anti-spasm bowel drug) I think it's a fairly mild medicine, see GP first though......................

IBS, bloating and other symptoms, it's just awful

Change diet too, good ntrition, I had to, and noticed that it got better

Thank you! At the moment I'm taking omeprazole in the mornings along with Gaviscon followed by an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection, but I will definitely check out your suggestion!  

Today was a nightmare, Acid reflux very bad and stomach not happy when I threw some salmon on it. Gurgling like crazy. I did buy a B Vitamin supplement and a probiotic to try but wondering if I should wait until I'm done with some of the other stuff. So confusing and feel that I've got noone to ask. Perhaps a pharmacist would be a good option? Has anyone had these kinds of problems and is now better? 

Hoping we all have a good week ahead!
