Since I had my appendix removed, I haven't really had an appetite. Is this normal?
An ileus can develop from an intra abdominal infection. An ileus from a perforated appendicitis may be worse than a straight forward appendicitis. An ileus may cause a reduction in one’s appetite. An ileus may resolve in a couple of weeks, although normally in a few days. Antibiotics and IV received during treatments can also alter the appetite and perception of taste, although this usually lasts less than a week. READ MORE
