Eating issues
Oki doki, before I start I would love to let you guys know that a) I love food. b) I had gallbladder issues c) I have Chronic Lyme Diease d) And yeah...
So, like I siad, I've had gallbladder issues which I thought made it to be that I felt like I was about to be sick when I ate food and what not. But when I got it out, it didn't help make me want to eat anymore, and when I am hungry, and when I get food, I feel super sick and when I see/hear/smell/think about food, I feel like I am about to throw up.
I've been trying to eat more, but sometimes i just don't eat because I am not hungry. My mom knows I try, but she keeps reminding me that if I don't try more (which I do try very hard) I will be one of those girls who gets tubes down her throat and what not so that I can get food. I don't want that, but I have no clue what to do...if anyone can help me, you won't believe how much I will love you guys...
Thanks so much in advance! ^^ if you guys need anymore info, please let me know!

make sure to tell a healthcare professional, espiecially if it's been increasingly worse. beyond that, you should probably treat it like you would if you had a stomach virus; eat smooth, bland foods that don't require a lot of chewing... like people already mentioned, staying hydrated is key. liquids will be easier for your stomach to tolerate.

First of all, how long has this been going on? If it is fairly recent, is there a possiblity that you are pregnant? This tends to go along the lines of morning sickness.
As for the gallbladder thing, have you had it removed? If you haven't that may be something to look into. From what I understand (my cousin had gallbladder problems and had it removed) the symptoms are more like that of IBS, where you immediately have to go to the bathroom following eating. The Chronic Lyme disease affects more in the same way as IBS, and your Auto Immune Disease, achy muscles, sore joints, painful skin, and muscle spasms. I don't think this would have anything to do with it.
I would suggest going to the doctor and getting an exam, blood and physical to rule out certain things, like pregnancy, stomach disease, or possibly poisoning (accidental of course).
One thing to do is make sure to drink plenty of fluid. This will at least keep you hydrated. Also, try eating a few saltine crackers to help with nausea. There is a drug out by prescription called Phenergan, this could help you also. Then, there are these bands that you put around your wrist that puts pressure on a certain pressure point called Sea Bands. Here is a link for those: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Another thing you could try is dramimine. It's the counter medicine that helps with motion sickness, it helps on nausea too.
I hope this helps. Good Luck!! I hope you get better soon.
