Hello. I'm posting on behalf of my boyfriend who refuses to go to the doctor. I am still hoping to be able to convince him to go, but until then, I need some advice on what to do or what this might be.
For the past 4/5 days he has been unable to eat properly due to gagging and feeling the urge to vomit. It has happened before when he has actually vomitted, but these phases lasted no longer than a day, and indeed was sometimes less. His observation is that it happens when he is running low on energy, but this time, he can't pick himself up as he can't eat more than a slice of toast, and very slowly at that.
Is this likely to be a sign of low blood sugar, something wrong with his stomach, something to do with the sudden cessation of marijuana use (no lectures, please, I just need to know whether it's a cause), or something else altogether.
I know it's a little vague and hard to come up with anything specific, but I'm worried and need something to force him to go to the doctor with. I would consider his normal diet to be pretty poor, although he does get the odd fruit and vegetable in. One last thing, are there any foods that are a little bit easier on a stressed stomach?
I've also posted in nutrition, but have no response so am a little bit desperate for any sort of answer. Please help.
Many thanks
Blue
