Question Posted Wednesday December 6 2006, 11:06 am
Ok, I'm 14 and last night when I weighed myself I was 106...and that was with everything I ate (which I didn't eat much) I'm really worried because everytime I get hungry, I'm not as soon as I see food, or when I eat food, I'll get full after ONE BITE! My mom said that if I don't eat more soon she'll take me to a hospital...and I don't want that. So I've been forcing myself to eat...but the bad part of that is that everytime I force myself to eat...it hurts my stomach and makes me feel like I'm going to throw up...can anyone tell my easy foods to eat? I really need y'alls advice(and just saying something...I don't want to lose weight, I want to gain it...and I ain't one of those girls' who starves herself, so dont go thinking that alright?)

What you are describing could be a symptom of a very serious illness. Please, make an appointment immediately. I had a friend who, like you, had trouble keeping food down and was way too thin, she had Chroms desires in her intestines. What you are describing is NOT normal. It will likely only get worse if you don't get treatment.
In the mean time, avoid dairy products and stick to easy to digest foods like fruits, vegtables and not so processed grains like whole wheat bread. Making sure to have some meat as well, but try and stick to chicken, turkey and fish, which tend to be gentler on your stomach.
But do go to a doctor, soon. I know going to a doctor is frighting, but not being able to eat and absorb nutrients could kill you, and that is far scarier. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
Imperialistic answered Wednesday December 6 2006, 11:53 am: Instead of eating 3 large meals a day, you should do with eating small meals throughout the day so it'll be easier on the stomach.
Try salads containing cucumbers and lettuce.
During off-times in the day, snack on milk, fruit, nuts and whole grain carbohydrates.
Avoid sugar and foods with a high-fat content.
Try to eat out of the four food groups every day (you may not get all the servings they want you too but keep it general) [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
