      That kind of weight loss is normal in that it's expected when you're throwing up that often, but that kind of vomiting is not normal at all. I assume you e had your whole GI tract scoped and they found nothing out of the ordinary. Have you been bitten by a tick? Recently or otherwise?

      A lot of people have a hard time eating meat. It's not easy on the digestive system.

      I agree with @100Percent_K. Def not normal. I'm studying to be a registered dietitian and I can tell you rn with the info you gave that you meet the criteria for malnutrition at the hospital I intern at (of course, it's a temporary diagnosis but still concerning). Would recommend seeing an RD in addition to the gastroenterologist!

          @AnxiousAl You said you lost 23 lbs, right? When were you last your usual body weight? 6 months ago? Less? Longer? We go by % body weight lost in a certain amount of time. If you lost 23 lbs in 3 years, not all that concerning, but if it's been 6 months, we may want to look into the why. Once again, I recommend seeing a professional who can look at all your health info and do tests to figure out what's going on & best help you

      That is a lot of weight to lose that quickly. You should be seen by a gastroenterologist for a GI work up
