Pregnant needing appetite stimulant
Comments (2)Food aversion early in pregnancy is not abnormal. The main problem you face is your milk supply decreasing. You might eat foods rich in B vitamins - as well as the usual green leafy veggies, nutritional yeast flakes are very good - if you can tolerate them. Sprinkled on buttered popcorn it will give you a high calorie nutritious snack. Nuts and seeds are also good things to snack on. Eat small amount often. Have fresh veggies prepared in the frig and snack on them. Try to eat small amounts of protein frequently. Make hardcooked eggs and keep in the frig. Cook extra chicken for meals and have leftovers available so there's always something in the frig to eat. Make fruit smoothies with yogurt or even ice cream. Drink a small cup of broth or soup. Taking nutritious liquids (other than Ensure) frequently in small amounts will add up. Are there any foods at all that appeal to you? Perhaps try some new items you seldom eat or add different herbs or condiments to foods for a new flavor. I hope you are not overwhelmed with the idea of this new pregnancy. Do you have an understanding person to discuss this pregnancy with? All the best to you and do enjoy this time with your 2 year old....See Moreappetite stimulants?
Comments (44)My husband stopped taking Levaquin a week ago and hasn't had an appetite since. He's been in the ER twice this week for treatment of nausea and/or vomiting. He saw an acupuncturist, who treated him w/ needles once, and gave him herbs, but the herbs nauseate him. Food nauseates him. Smells nauseate him. He thinks he'll never be able to eat again. I can't offer him anything because the thought of food nauseates him. When he thinks about tea or even water, he gets nauseated. He just took Zofran (ondansetrol, an anti-nauseant for heavy-duty nausea, as in cancer chemotherapy, e.g.). We'll see what happens. Compazine tabs and Phenergan suppositories haven't really helped, or help only during the day, not at night when he lies down. I think half the problem is emotional. He's used to being very active and healthy, and now he's without energy and feeks cold all the time - that's another thing, in the past, eating turned him into a furnace, and now that he isn't eating, he's cold. He's almost at the end of his rope, and I can't see that there's anything I can do. I read through all the posts and I don't see anything in them that addresses this situation. It is unlikely, but possible, he still has an infection, as he never finished the course of antibiotics, and that a lingering or even spreading infection is contributing to this, but he doesn't have any obvious signs of infectin. He sees the doctor on Tuesday. The doctor should be able to determine if infection is still a problem. Wish I could slip him an anti-anxiety drug/herb to get his mind off this; I think a lot of it is emotional; he hasn't lost any weight, although he looks thinner to me, and is moving like an old man; he's only 66. He is very thin anyway and is normally highly energetic, but not now. He will try things other people suggest, but what I suggest....See Moreappetite stimulant.....and other problems
Comments (2)I have used cypro but not mirtazapine. I do know that they are dosed completely differently, though. I also would space them (and any other meds) two hours apart from the Pepcid so that the Pepcid doesn't interfere with absorption. Neither cypro nor mirtazapine work on all cats. You may find that one works for your girl but the other doesn't. It'll be trial and error to find out which has the desired effect and at what dosage. I will caution you to start with a very low dose of either one, though. The recommended dosages of each have been associated with some rather nasty side effects in some cats. The safest approach is to start with one at a very low dose, then increase, if necessary, until you either reach an effective dose or start experiencing unpleasant side effects. If the unpleasant side effects occur first, then it would be prudent to stop that drug and try the other one at a low (and potentially increasing) dose to see how she does on that one. I, personally, would start with cypro, since it seems to have fewer and less potentially severe side effects than mirtazapine. You can read about dosing recommendations for both drugs at the following link: Here is a link that might be useful: appetite stimulants and other appetite strategies...See MoreCleo is gone
Comments (22)It is never easy to lose a pet at any age, I still think of my cat Daphne who died of cancer in 98. I feel alot of guilt on top of the pain because I didn't even know she was sick until it was too late. At least you knew and did everything you could. Cleo was a beautiful kitty. I hope it is true that we all get to see our lost animals again someday!...See Moreagnespuffin
