What Causes Constant Nausea And Loss Of Appetite?
My dad has had nausea and since a fall last month. Not eating well. He has had numerous GI tests done with negative results. His blood tests are all negative as well. The docs seem puzzled by his symptoms. He has had a recent diagnosis of macular degeneration. However, he has not felt well enough for the 3-hour exam with the eye specialist. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Welcome to HCM,
Hello, nausea and loss of appetite may be due to
1.Infections
2. Medications and supplements
3.Depression
Prevention
1.Try different seasonings or sauces to find one that improves the taste of food without creating nausea.
2.Ginger can be very useful for helping to control nausea
3.Lemon can suppress nausea
4.If you have more appetite or less nausea at certain times of day, try to eat then, and put the focus on nourishing foods so that every bite count
5.Protein foods can improve nausea and sweet foods can sometimes worsen it
avoid spicy foods, fried foods, high-fat meats, sauces or gravies, sour cream, caffeine-containing beverages and alcohol.
6.Lquid meal may seem a lot easier than eating one
7.Anti-nausea and appetite-stimulating drugs may help
Thank you
