Internist advised to go to hospital for nutrition but when?Hello,22year old female who has been vomiting for the past 13 days. Was referred to an internist. He has referred me to a gastroenterologist.The internist was concerned about my nutrition intake and told me I may have to go to the hospital for some type of supplemental nutrition. I asked him when but he was vague about it, and said I would feel shitty.Well, Ive felt shitty for a while, and was wondering at one point I would need to go for some type of supplemental nutrition. Have been vomiting all food for 13 days, and some fluids. Have lost weight (do not have a scale), but clothes are loose, and I track my calories and last week averaged 150 cals and this week averaged 300.I did have to pick up a prescription today and discussed it with the pharmacist who advised me to go, but I was hoping I could also get a doctors opinion since I would prefer not to go to the hospital if I do not have to.Thanks!

I would go today. 300 calories a day is not sustainable and your *body will be taking damage from that.
I keep getting quad cramps above the knee every time i go hiking. Is this a nutrition issue or just overall shape?Want to preface this by saying i plan to see a dr or even nutritionist next week. However right now I'm on a hiking trip, so just kind of hoping for any quick advice.I'm 30M in good shape and health, but cardio has never been huge for me. Lately I've been doing spin a few times a week trying to change that habit. I've been hiking for a few years and never had any issues until the past year or so. All of a sudden every single hike i do, once it starts to get challenging i get bad cramps in both my quads right above the knee on the inner side.I've been trying to totally change my hydration habits, drinking a lot before and during the hike. Gatorade before and during, even tried supplementing with those emergency electrolyte packs. No change.I know it's a long shot but anyone ever had this start to happen and figure out how to fix? Or is it just getting in better shape?
Lack of calcium or potassium and dehydration is the most common cause- I dont think this needs a doctor but do take more than just a light supplement. A banana is actually perfect for preventing cramps.
