Why do I get full off of very little food?
| For a while now I haven’t been able to eat very much without getting full and nauseous. Most of the time just the thought of food makes me nauseous and on some occasions, I’ve puked. I’ve been losing weight and Idk if it’s because of that but my parents don’t think it’s serious. Thank you for sharing your concerns. A wide variety of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal disorders can result in a lack of appetite and weight loss. While a transient lack of appetite that is not associated with weight loss can be managed expectantly, the presence of weight loss requires further evaluation. Overall, a thorough history and physical exam are the first steps. Sometimes blood work, imaging, and endoscopic evaluation are also required to find the right diagnosis. Some possible diagnoses include Celiac disease, gastroparesis, eating disorders, etc. Once the right diagnosis has been made, the next step will be treating the underlying cause. It is equally important to assess your nutritional status and check for any micronutrient deficiency to ensure the best outcome. I recommend talking to your primary care provider for the next step. Hope you feel better soon. READ MORE
