Hey everyone. I'm new here. I have this problem.. for the past few weeks, i have been not able to eat. I went to see the doctor for a couple of times but none of the medicines helped so far. When i think of food or put them into my mouth, i feel like throwing up. I've always been hungry but i just couldn't force myself to eat. It's been a month. I'm 16 male. Can i get some advice? Thanks in advance.

Well you must be keeping something down because it's physically impossible for the human body to survive without any food for longer than 2 weeks, and without water you die in a few days.

I remember when I was going through a growth spurt (for about a month) I couldn't eat that much. It was like my body didn't want any food (though I force fed myself a lot).

have you been growing a lot lately? Do you have an achey back or sore muscles/joints?

I haven't been growing up lately and I'm underweight. I don't have an achey back or sore muscle and joints nor fever. I just feel nausea everytime, before or after eating. Eventhough im hungry my body just didnt want to accept any food.
