DH used to be the type of person who colud pack away 3 hot meals a day, a "little something" round about 4.30 and a huge mug of Horlicks at night. Having UC he never put on any weight - seethe, seethe! However, just recently he has lost his appetite. I amwas a keen cook and enjoy(ed) cooking because it was usually appreciated and always eaten, but now he asks for small portions, looks glumly at his plate, pushes it away and just isn't eating enough. He's not wasting away but is probably losing weight. He sometimes even retches although he doesn't bring anything up. He has had an endoscopy so there is no problem at that end of his digestive system, but does suffer from indigestion, probably not unconnected with the cocktail of drugs he is on. I have tried concocting delicate liitle morsels to tempt him, prepare light easy-to-digest food, sometimes I buy ready made food on the basis of why spend all that time slaving over a hot stove when it is going to end up in the dog anyway? I can't altogether ignore it as he has a variety of health issues (as many of you know) but it is getting me down. I feel a pig for finishing what is on my plate and have very little incentive to make anything special for lunch or supper. Help? Sympathy?
