How can I deal with appetite and weight loss due to POTS?

GrandlakeGal
In the last six months I have almost entirely lost my appetite.  Without meaning to do so, I have lost 30 pounds.  I'm not dreadfully thin, but it worries me that the weight loss continues.  I just don't want to eat and have to force myself to do it.

As a registered dietitian I would recommend smaller meals more frequently, snacks or meal replacement supplements such as boost or ensure.
