Over last 9 months have had rapid weight and hair loss (80-90lb weight loss,5ft 130lbs now ) 28 yrs old,started out having stomach issues/chronic inflamed appendix, had appendix out in oct.,now have 5cm ovarian cyst right ovary with constant gas,nausea,heartburn,bloating, bowel probs,and pain.
I have been basically surviving on ensure,1-2 a day,orange juice ,crackers,and just now started to eat solid food(meat) and reintroduce food back in my diet but only can take few bites as I feel full fast and feel worse after eating (I fear fiber)makes symptoms worse,do have history of IBS,but never had eating troubles like this before,every 2-3 hrs I can only take few small bites of food and feel like I ate a supersized Mcdonalds combo and get very bloated/gassy.
Is it possible being on liquid diet,ensure,for so long has shrunk stomach, and reason i cant eat alot ? I'm very worried I've developed eating disorder and I do fear food,and my hair is falling out.I dont force myself to vomit,and I dont,or abuse laxatives ,it isnt weight issue but pain issue prevents me from wanting to eat.Is there any foods I can eat that is easily digested and tolerated? I tried yogurt but I cant exist on such limited diet anymore and my dr is no help just tells me I can do this on my own,I'm very tired most of the time,rapid heartbeat and weak (alot of anxiety issues too)will I ever get my appetite back and be able to eat right again?
Any advice appreciated,ty!
