It is not entirely clear from your question what exact problem you are facing. When you say that your stomach is bothering you and you can’t eat, do you mean that you are unable to keep food down or that you have no appetite or that you suffer from severe nausea?

Generally speaking, most of these problems can be linked to complications in the digestive tract and nearby organs in the abdominal area. There may even be an intestinal problem that may be causing the loss of appetite, and this includes factors such as constipation, ulcers, diarrhea or chronic indigestion. All these factors can be linked to the loss of appetite.


There may also be complications with the gall bladder, the liver, the pancreas and a problem with any of these organs generally results in the reduction in the speed of the normal digestive process, owing to the lack of a proper supply of digestive enzymes. Anxiety, depression and grief can also lead to problems with the stomach and result in a loss of appetite or some sort of indigestion.

 

Therefore in order to fully understand what might be causing your problem it is advisable to consult your doctor to better understand what is actually going wrong and what the most effective remedy is.

 

It is of course possible that the loss of appetite and stomach problems are being caused due to improper or bad eating habits that you may be following. Therefore you should refrain from eating sweets and junk food or consuming colas and other soft drinks during the time period between meals. Eating a large quantity of these kinds of food puts a load on the stomach and hence slows down the digestive process. If you feel hungry between meals, eat small meals of fruits and vegetables in between meals instead.
