Is this possible?

Is it possible to be so upset/stressed that your body rejects food?

[Skandhanaut]

Yes. When you experience high levels of stress, bodily functions like digestion is down-prioritized. I get the same thing.

The best cure is to do something mildly intensive, like walking 5 miles or cleaning out the basement.

There are also a number of natural remedies, like cannabidiol, possibly even a bit of thc, l-theanine, st. John's wort, tumeric, high-EPA fishoil, sleep, water, also more exotic things, if one wants to relate to and possibly solve the underlying issues.

how does it reject food? like throwing it back out? or just shitting it out without breaking it down?

[Asker]

Either I throw it up or it goes straight through me

[BertMacklinFBI]

I don't think stress would cause that:P you feel super stressed lately and noticed this happening?

[Asker]

I feel really stressed lately and yes it has been happening. I also don't feel the need to eat but still try to eat something every day

mm well im not an expert so I would recommend seeing your doctor for a check up:) I hope you get well soon, like really soon:D

[Asker]

Thanks and I hope I do too.

[HelloHandsome]

yup! But I would guess your stomach has shrinked due to decreased input of food, over a period of time. Thus could result from high stress levels.

It's been happening for about 2 weeks now

I think your stomach has shrunk. You should slowly increase your food consumption, so your stomach can adjust to the change without rejecting it. You should also be worried about the stomach acid because it can cause heartburn due to the acidity eroding your throat. I'd suggest to start with thick liquids like smoothies, creamy soup, etc. and gradually progress from their.
