i struggle to eat on a daily basis because food makes me feel sick because of the acid my stomach produces because of my anxiety

@imroseblake When I'm anxious or stressed, I find it difficult to eat, too. Normally, I love food. With anxiety, I could go all day without eating, and then force myself to eat something when it comes dinner time.

When I feel this way, I don't try to force it. I'll stick to eating simple foods that will be comforting. Some tea, some toast, maybe hot cereal. Some cheese and crackers. Stay hydrated though. That's a big problem for me that I have to work on. Always have a glass of water or cup of tea or something like that near.

Greetings!

There are medications for both calming anxieties and for stomach acid.

However, if you did not know it before you may try to search on google "propolis in gastric disorders". Propolis is a natural product produced by bees and using it on a long term basis has helped many people.

I know how that feels because I have anxieties and that state of mind affects my stomach acidity and for example now when my anxieties are very high I cannot take food either...but try consulting your personal doctor or pharmacist because as I said there are treatments for both anxiety and stomach acidity and they work for the majority of people.

I am sorry that you have to live daily with this ailment which is tormenting and frustrating...

Glad you came here, you may find listeners or other people like you who can give you advice or just share the same emotions...

Take good care and I truly wish it will get better!🤗
