A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

So, let me preface this with I love food. LOVE food. I love cooking, trying new recipes, feeding people, and experimenting with new ingredients. Cooking is how I show my love.

Good morning my dear friend folie.🥰 I get the same way, when I have a bad flare up, I lose my appetite, I just want to sleep 😴 all the time, but, I do make sure that I drink enough fluids, not to get dehydrated. I hope and pray 🙏 that you feel better soon. I LOVE ❤️ FOOD too. Lol 😂

Yeah I have trouble with eating sometimes. Especially if my pain level is high. Sometimes you have to force yourself to eat something sadly.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) which is common with Fibromyalgia can cause a lack of appetite. Also opiates like co-codamol, some blood pressure meds and NSAIDs like Ibuprofen. Duloxetine can cause nausea and constipation. I get anorexia intermittently and I have IBS. I don't take any of the mentioned meds. Sometimes people with IBS go on a low FODMAP diet, others just alter their food choices.
