Have Loss Of Appetite, Nausea And Gastrointestinal Pain. Suggestions?
Hi. I am 24 years old and for the past three days I have lost my appetite . I don t get hungry or thirsty. When I do eat something because I know I have to I either get nauseous or get a really bad upper gastrointestinal pain that comes and goes as if it were cramping. Aside from that the rest of the day I feel totally normal.

Hi thanks for your question.
Nausea and abdomen pain following eating could lead to loss of appetite.Most probably nausea and vomiting could be due gastritis that is inflammation of stomach.I would suggest you to consult a physician who may examine you and may perform upper G I endoscopy on you to establish cause of ,nausea,pain abdomen and loss of appetite.You may need antacid and proton pump blocker like pantoprazole for management of your symptoms.
Hope this answers your question.

Hi Roxy, loss of appetite, upper abdominal pain could be due to any one of the followig.
1.Severe anaemia.
2.Acute gastritis
3.Ovulation
4.Worm infestation
5.Pre menstural period
6.Amoebiasis.
You have to do proper investigations like complete Haemogram, stool examination for anaemia. amoebiasis & worm infestation. If found to be positive then should be treated accordingly.Progesterone results in nausea, loss of appetite during premenstural period. Your symptoms point more towards acute gastritis. Pain gets aggravated on eating. Take Rabeprazole 20mg two times a day before food for 6 weeks along with Tab. Ranitidine 150mg/day for the first two days. Avoid spicy food. Antacids can be taken when pain is severe.
