Hunger

[lucitcha]

Hi there,

I´m just REALLY hungry right now... but simply can´t eat.
Look at food and think no-no-no. Just got out of the bathroom, I think my whole lunch was in there. And all I had was rice, cooked carrots and some grilled chicken breast. Have some biscuits with me (wheat, water, salt are the ingredients), but just don´t feel like having anything to eat. Anyone can relate?
I´m trying NOT to think about it, but it´s getting a little tough.

Don´t feel like my GI knows what she´s doing, but until now best I could get from my health insurance. My husband found out that one of his clients (he´s a personal trainer) is a specialist in Croh´s (only private appointments), but he thinks we can get him to take a look at my case (and see if I can at least have a diagnose...).:ybatty:

I know exactly how you feel! I just have started eating the last two days as I could NOT eat anything without getting sick as a dog...but then after two days of not eating you do get hungry and you think "maybe it would help this total lack of energy if I ate something" a horrible cycle...I would just drink Ensure or Boost til things calm down ...my only advice

Thanx for the advice!
Actually carrots have always been my friends - up until now, I guess. Yesterday I could actually see all the little pieces going down the flush. Yuck! No more carrots for me.

Actually you gave me a brilliant idea (just don´t know why I didn´t think of it first - must be the lack of food). My sister is a hospital nutricionist, and she used to get all these Ensure free samples to my grandpa when he was fighting his cancer. Just never thought of taking it myself, and - worse - didn´t tell her about my recent struggle with food. Gonna call her right now. =)
Don´t think we have Boost in Brazil, but I don´t think that will be an issue.

Also - there is Pedialyte, I personally couldnt choke down the Ensure, so glad it works for others just not me. Hope you have some relief soon!

I've been having problems with eating lately too. Water is even making my intestines rumble and hurt.
And oh boy does that pumpkin spice latte sound delicious!

I only had applesauce today and trying to eat it was making me gag. My body wants no food. However, I want a nice big fat cheeseburger or stuffed crust pizza. Too bad that will cause my celiac to act up. :*( I can pretend.

I'm floored that I'm not crazy after all!!!! I jokingly tell people I must have upset God cause I'm not able to eat and He know's I'm a woman who loves her food!!! I eat and I hurt and feel sick so I'm afraid to eat but gosh darn I get hungry. I've lost 15 lbs this month and still waiting for a dianosis. No energy and getting a bit depressed and worried. I've always been a strong person so I know I will get through what ever this is as well.
