Question : I am 29 years old Male. I don't have natural appetite to eat. It is from my 14 years i think. I used to be lean always. In order to increase my appetite I took Practin tablets for 3 months in 2018 and gained some weight. Later I got acidity problem and in 2019 December I visited Gastroenterologist in St. XXXXXXX hospital XXXXXXX Mr Barnabas. We took complete body check and did not found any issues in my health. Then doctor advised to take Endoscopy test and during the test we found H PYROLI bacteria in my stomach. Then he given medicines to take for 3 months and to have control on foods like spicy, sour. Medicine I took is PANTOCID 20MG TAB and VELGUT. It was very tough while i took this tablet. Anyhow I finished taking tablets for 3 months and I was told take VELGUT for another 3 more months. During medication and till now I do not have natural appetite. During the treatment I was around 60kg and now around 52kg. I do not have any constipation, ulcer, acidity, bloating, burping. Only problem is I do not have appetite to eat.

Brief Answer:
Psychological

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but if your kidney and liver function tests ( including Urea, creatinine, SGOT and SGPT) are normal, along with normal hepatic markers and thyroid functions tests including T3, T4 and TSH then I would recommend that you divide your meals into six small ones each containing one protein, one carbohydrates and one fruit or vegetables portion..

I would also recommend that you exercise daily to help increase your apetite.. please also get a psychological consultation to detect the cause behind your lost apetite since no physical cause was found.

I hope you find this helpful..
