I am underweight and want to know how can I get into the habit of eating more to gain? I know my body feels starved but I lack an appetite and interest in food. I have gerd which makes it hard for me to eat because i’ll feel nausea, hot flashes, and dry mouth. I have medicine I take which temporarily helps but not always.
