  • I'd consider asking a doctor about this.
  • Yes, a doctor is really needed. And we are not medical doctors. But we do know when we hear someone ask about something that ought to receive trained medical evaluation. You are losing vitamins and minerals (and weight probably also) you need, and you also have some problem that is causing this, which could be anything from gastroesophageal reflux disease, to ulcers, to gall bladder or other upper abdominal problems. It could also be related to your stomach being bloated with air from swallowing air if you are very anxious, (you would not necessarily realize you do this), or some other reason you have excess gas or esophageal bloating, making it feel like you are stuffed after just a small amount of food. It could be nothing much, or it could be more serious. In either event, you really need to see a doctor so you can find out. Most of the the problems can be treated easily, and likewise if left untreated, most of them will get worse. Good luck!
  • As the others said, see a doctor, but... this happened to me too, i was feeling very depressed & i lost my appetite, had the same thing you did, I'd prepare food, and even smelling the cooked food would make me nauseated. I lost 15kg because of this. But i can't say why my appetite came back. Now whenever i feel stressed, I can't eat, but my general appetite is good. Good luck, i hope you are well.
  • Are you otherwise healthy? How's your weight? Of course a doctor would ask these questions, and perhaps you should go to one, but if he says you're healthy I would love to have your problem, as long as it didn't mean I had cirrhosis or a stomach tumor or something. On the other hand, eating just a few bites could mean nothing but junk food--you should keep good food handy in the fridge that you can quick microwave a small dish of when the hungries hit.
  • You sound bulemic as though you fear weight gain from eating. Keep the carbohydrates low you won't gain weight. Only carboydrates can convert to fat.
