Why Am I Not Hungry All Day? - #60197
I am dealing with this weird thing where my low appetite and indigestion are really messing with my life. Like, I used to love food, but lately, it feels like I just can’t eat anything, and even the thought of eating makes my stomach feel off. it has been happening for a few weeks, and my friends say I look way too thin. I thought maybe it was stress, but it’s not just about that. I literally have no appetite all day, and when I do try to eat, I get this uncomfortable feeling, like my stomach just can't handle it. I have tried a few things supposedly good for low appetite indigestion, like ginger tea and lighter meals, but nothing seems to help. I’m worried about my health because I know that not eating enough is bad news. What foods can actually help stimulate my appetite? Are there any Ayurvedic remedies or herbs that could be good for this? I just want to feel normal again and enjoy meals without feeling like I’m forcing myself. Any advice for someone stuck in this low appetite indigestion cycle?
