Could someone recommend a food substitute and multi vitamins for my husband please.

He has started a new tablet treatment and has completely lost his appetite just doesn't eat or even think about it, I'm worried as he's losing weight and looking gornt.

He has stage 4 kidney cancer 

  • Hi Micmart,

    When I first started treatment I had no appetite so I bought some Complan. There are also drinks like Ensure which provide calories and vitamins. Apart from that I ate and drank whatever I could face which meant mostly ice-cream and cocoa with full fat milk.

    These helped to keep my weight fairly stable and my appetite did return and is now normal.

    I'm sure others on here will have plenty of helpful suggestions.
