Long Lost Appetite? Normal?

[Anonymous]

For the past year, I have lost my appetite for every kind of food. I'm just not hungry anymore. When I do eat, it's normally a slice of toast with butter. Nothing big.

I have lost a few pounds, but I'm a big girl so it's not really an issue I worry about.

But is loosing your appetite for nearly a year normal?

I drink water and keep hydrated (duh), it's just eating that I have an issue with. My parentals don't really care. They know about it, but don't care. Probably because they don't have to buy as much food, haha.

So, is my lose of appetite normal?

That has happened to me on and off for years. I'll go for weeks or months with no appetite, or I'll gt sick when I eat but be fine otherwise..
The doctors don't know. It could be a thyroid thing.. You may wanna get that checked

Yeah, I've gotten sick with some foods I've tried. I get really sick with fast food tho, so I don't ever eat out.

I'll look into the thyroid, I have a friend who has a thyroid issue. I'll ask 'em about it. Thank you!

[Drooogie4]

Definitely!
Is your body temperature usually low? That's how they found mine out

Eating certain ways can make it ease up a little

[Asker]

No, I've never felt any different. I feel perfectly fine, it's just that I'm hardly eating a crumb a day.

an entire year? holy shit what could be causing that.. hmm.. its not normal though, your body needs proper nutrition to function the way it was meant too.

You have diabetes. Also, no it's not normal.

[Asker]

Diabetes seems a little far fetched for me, but I'll look into it. Thank you!

You don't actually have diabetes. You do have a gastrointestinal problem though. That I am sure of. How much do you weigh and what is your height?

[Asker]

I'm about 5'8" and weight around 125.0lbs

Hm. Other symptoms, changes, and events? Drug use?

Medication?

Hair lossage. But I think that's a whole different issue. I don't take any medication, and I don't do drugs.

I have fainted once tho. I was playing sports out in the heat of the sun and blacked out momentarily. Didn't go to the doctors or anything, I just assumed I needed to hydrate so I drank water. Don't know if that's helpful.

Hair loss... low appetite...

What do you think is causing the hair loss? How long has that been a thing? Chemical damage?

I'm surprised you don't report any lack of energy.
