hi
i have been noticing this last week that i am just not interested in food.....you could stick a huge piece of cake under my nose with no relfux symptoms and i just wouldnt feel like eating it...........i have lost all desire to eat, im tired, cant ber bothered and everything just tastes blah, even thou im eating nice food (thats ok for reflux) i just have no food motivation. because im eating less i think this is contributing to my neasea that i feel sometimes.......

cheers ness

could also be suffering from anxiety...i know from experience that my anxiety affects my appetite...i am a BIG eater...and i dropped 60 lbs in 3 months because of my anxiety....i also have reflux and have since 2001....my latest bout with anxiety has caused me to lose 14lbs in 2 weeks because food is just not something i want....

look into it....anxiety is real....

hope you feel better
Danny

I was like this for a while. Got to the point that the anxiety of not knowing what would happen after each meal wasn't worth it to me. Still, I forced myself knowing that not eating was not a good idea. For a while I was still losing weight and I thought I was eating enough but after keeping a food journal I found out I wasn't.

Anyway, yeah, even now I still wonder if I'll regret eating certain foods, but at least I know a lot of foods that don't (usually) cause issues (from the journal) and that takes a lot of the anxiety away. Good luck!
