Suggest Treatment For Eating Disorder

Lately, when i am eating a meal, about halfway thru the food on my plate, i start to feel eck, blah, i can t eat another bite of this or i ll be sick, its disgusting to me , now that is very unusual for me ss i used to finish every last morsel on my plate.. and sometimes the food tastes different to me from the start. . And i have been losing some weight without really trying. But i can still eat something sweet after getting rid of the half eaten plateful. .?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
If such clinical scenario comes to my clinic,I would do a clinical examination and detailed history to find out the exact cause of your problem.
As per your clinical history the most probable reason is acid reflex disease( gastritis).You might need an endoscopic examination to confirm the diagnosis.Try to avoid spicy food and carbonated drinks,reduce alcohol consumption.Have healthy food and lose extra weight if you have any.If symptoms are severe you can take antacids and PPI(Proton pump Inhibitor )drugs like omeprazole.
The other possibility is functional,That means you don't have any disease and symptoms arise out of anxiety or stress.Try to avoid unwanted stresses,have adequate sleep.Never use recreational drugs.You can seek help from a psychologist/psychiatrist and one or two sessions of behavioral therapy could make you feel better.
I suggest you to consult a general physician or a gastroenterologist for a detailed evaluation.You might need an upper GI endoscopy to rule out gastritis.
Hope I answered your query.
Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr.Shinas Hussain
