I see the Pallative care team tomorrow and will talk to them about the MJ issue, thank you all so much for your advice ❤ I don’t know much about medical MJ & pretty much just listened to the oncologist

Another good appetite stimulant is Seroquel/quetiapine. It's an atypical antipsychotic but I use it (50mg) as a sleep aid. For many people it can be quite sedating but it is also well known in the AA and NA communities as causing very serious munchies - at least to the same extent as pot for me.What made me think "get this girl some weed" was when you mentioned having trouble getting motivated to eat... MANY folks use weed very effectively to stimulate appetite. (and unlike use for pain there's no real controversy... EVERYONE knows about the "munchies"!)

What he/she/they said.If you do end up trying it, watch out - it's easy to eat too much, like an entire box of Twinkies... box included.
I'd bought some RSO for my partner a while back, and there's still some left, so a few weeks back I put some in my morning coffee, since I wasn't going anywhere. I was hungry all. Damn. Day.If you do end up trying it, watch out - it's easy to eat too much, like an entire box of Twinkies... box included.
Nothing gets the enthusiasm for food going like gruel does!
I have microscopic colitis, I have to be careful with grains and roughage. Thank you for the suggestion though.Have you tried barley "porridge"? Use hulled instead of pearled. Cook it in water and add a bit of sugar/brown sugar/ honey when it's done. Do not overcook, just cooked through so it is still a grain as opposed to a paste.

Yogurt?
If I needed to eat, and cherry pie was one of the options that worked, I'd eat that as often as I could. It has all the four food groups, too: fruit, sugar, fat and fuck yeah!Wow, so much info, thank you all.
Today I had non greasy chicken tenders, rice & a slice of cherry pie. Drank water. I try to eat slowly so I don’t get full too fast & get a stomach ache. I must say the cherry pie tasted good heated in the microwave. I like a lot of Aldi’s baked goods 😀
Got a lot on your plate. Hope the new treatments help out.
IF ANYBODY IS DESERVING IT IS YOU GEEKBABE!!!Just sitting here literally crying in gratitude…thank you
Thank you all so much ❤
The Pallative care team is one of the few groups of people I can speak frankly with. People who don’t flinch when they hear the word “ death” are strangely comforting to me. When we talked about my final arrangements I told her I want to be cremated & my ashes placed in a tiny Viking boat & one of my pagan friends to use a flaming bow and arrow to set it afire. I also want plenty of beer & food & music I loved. She laughed and said “ you want a celebration of your life”, yes, yes I do ❤
I'm not really clear on the difference between colitis and irritable bowel, but there's this over the counter remedy called IB guard and all it basically is, is the active chemical in peppermint oil. I've used it for some medication induced diarrhea and it worked like a charm. I was eating several pills a day though for it be effective. That might be a small exaggeration though.I have microscopic colitis, I have to be careful with grains and roughage. Thank you for the suggestion though.

It has the advantage of being all natural, but that doesn't mean it should not be treated as a drug. So, medical advice first.
I hope you get some relief. I guess it's nice they realize that some people can eventually reach their limit but you don't seem anywhere close to that. Still, I'm not sure how I would feel about being told that.
