Question 1

i sometimes don't eat at all for a whole day and don't feel hungry and somedays i eat constantly. this can go on for days and happens randomly. help?

Accepted Answer

Eating disorder: Many times it is normal to have variation in appetite. Make sure you are not loosing weight. Get a complete check up to r/o underlying  problems. 
Regular exercise and healthy eating is important.

Question 2

my stomach feels so bloated all the time i get pains on an off all day, i have a lot of gas and constantly feel hungry even after i eat .

Accepted Answer

Bloating: Sounds awful. Best approach is to visit a GI specialist and tell him your problems since so many things can cause this that only a direct exam can help.

Question 3

i have gallbladder disease with an er of 14%. i occasionally have nausea and vomiting. my concern is that i always feel hungry and the need to eat constantly. hair loss as well. thyroid checked out fine. could it be from the gallbladder?

Accepted Answer

Gall bladder: Hair loss and constant hunger are not symptoms of gall bladder disease. Since your thyroid tests are normal other tests such as blood sugar, iron level   and pregnancy testing(unless this isn't a possibility)can be done. A gastroenterologist should be consulted to evaluate you for other gi issues although gall bladder dysfunction may explain periodic nausea and vomiting.

Question 4

is it okay to eat 1 meat per day? i don't feel hungry the rest of the day.

Accepted Answer

Clarify please: It is ok to eat one serving of meat daily. It is better for your digestion and metabolism to eat several small meals daily rather than one large meal.

Question 5

is there anything i can get to increase my appitite i only manage to eat 1 small meal a day sometimes i don't eat at all i just don't feel hungry?

Accepted Answer

Yes...: First, you'll want to be sure you are evaluated by your physician to rule out any important underlying medical causes for low appetite. If there are none found, then simply increasing your calorie usage through increased activity such as aerobic exercise will increase your metabolism and thus your appetite. Also, eating small meals throughout the day may increase metabolism/appetite.

Question 6

what do i do if i don't have no appetite? i don't feel hungry and sometimes i have force myself to eat something. i haven't eat in the past few days maybe even a week.

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. When you don't take in calories for several days in a row to a week, your body goes into a starvation mode to protect itself. Thus, it starts to burn calories very slowly.  I don't know if you are a young person, and if so if you are happy with your size or not. I don't know if you are an older person and this is a chronic pattern. If so, don't know  if your lack of appetite is accompanied things like GI symptoms, weakness or feeling ill.  However, all animals (including us people) need food to sustain us. I would make yourself continue to take in healthy food even if the portions are small. I also recommend that you let your doctor know that you go for up to a week without eating. He or she will likely look into the reason for your lack of appetite and perhaps have you work with a nutritionist. Take care.

Question 7

i feel sick every time i eat.i barely ever feel hungry and only eat once a day sometimes not t all. what is wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

Sick: Please start with a visit to your doctor. Very likely you will be referred to a Gastroenterologist.

Another possibility is that your condition represents an emotional issue. If that is something you have considered a referral to a Psychologist is in order.

Hope all goes well. Please let me know.

Question 8

i feel hungry all the time.even after i am totally full,after five minutes,i am like i didnt eat the whole day.this started two months ago.i eat all the time and i am really concerned?

Accepted Answer

Hungry : Several things need to be clarified. Are you gaining weight? Urinating in excess. ? Have you had blood tests? Constant hunger may not be physiological (a physical need for food) but psychological based in emotions. There are people who don't eat sufficient fats in their diet or lack iron so their body has food cravings.

Question 9

i never feel hungry enough to eat a meal more than once a day, but how many meals should i eat in a day to be healthy? and what is a good size meal?

Accepted Answer

You may be a grazer!: If you are maintaining a healthy weight, it may be that you "graze" through the day - eating small, frequent mini-meals. There's nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, it may be a healthier way to eat. Try keeping a diary for a few days of everything you actually eat. If you have any doubt at that point, talk to your doctor. She/he or a nutritionist can help you sort it out. Good luck. Lgromkomd.

Question 10

i can eat in the morning and not feel hungry until late at night. when i eat it takes all day for my food to move through me. how can i fix this?

Accepted Answer

Slow transit: Fluids, fiber, & exercise. Be checked for diabetes (which can slow gastric emptying) and incomplete bowel obstruction. Discuss your concerns with your doc, who will examine you, possibly order tests, & treat you based on the findings.
