1/pk pb crackers. 1/2 cup cereal on a good day. Pint of water. Mom has gone from eating good for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and snacks. Then, she went to eating carbs, small cup coffee breakfast, cup cereal. Yogurt for lunch and a little for Dinner then onto dessert. I have tried no desserts, persuading with fruits, vegetable, cooking only fav foods etc. And she has stage 3 kidney disease and only drinks now about a pint of water per day. No other liquid drinks.
I am at my wits end with everything. So tired. When should i be concerned enough to contact physician? Or, go to ER etc. Last MD visit I informed Mom's PCP which is an internal medicine and Geriatric MD of her eating habits and was informed to try any thing to get her to eat and drink. I have been doing that.
I know so many of you have gone thru this. I need your expertise and experience. Thanks in advance.
Make sure food and water is available. Remind her occasionally.keep meals very small and feed her more often as she finishes or otherwise shows she's finished.
