Hello Doctor,
Every time I eat, I feel nauseous and lose my appetite immediately. Sometimes, I don’t have an appetite all day. I’ve lost over 40lbs in the past year due to this issue alone, without any other causes. What should I do?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
There are multiple reasons why you may be experiencing nausea and a loss of appetite after eating. These can range from common issues like food allergies, food poisoning, or acid reflux to more complex causes such as gastrointestinal diseases, anxiety, stress, diabetes, or even hormonal imbalances. Additionally, pregnancy or certain medications can sometimes result in these symptoms.
Given that you’ve experienced significant weight loss over the past year, it is crucial to investigate the underlying cause to ensure there are no serious health concerns. I recommend you undergo tests such as a pregnancy test, glycemia test, and possibly others depending on your situation. Also, please provide a list of any medications you are currently taking, as they could be contributing factors.
Once we have the results, we can work together to address the root cause of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may involve nutritional adjustments and other therapies to restore your health.
Thanks
