If you are struggling with loss of appetite as a result of cirrhosis the trust recommends:
- Eating small but frequent meals – little and often
- Snacking if ‘proper meals’ are too difficult to eat
- Trying to eat something every two hours, however small
- Tempting yourself with foods you like
- Not forcing yourself to eat food you don’t like
- Trying to relax before and after you eat
- Taking your time over eating – chew well and breathe steadily
- Trying cold foods such as biscuits or sandwiches
- Trying a nourishing drink if you don’t like solid food.
The trust says: “Nourishing drinks include full cream milk, homemade fruit milkshakes or smoothies, and drinks made with nutritional supplements.
