My father has not been able to keep his weight on. No matter how hard he tries, he can not eat and/or hold is food down once he finally is able to force feed himself. Are there any suggestions for the nausea and suggestions for keeping the weight on. He's tried all the ensure shakes he can, but his body continues to reject any/all food as of late. Please help.

Thx

I would suggest that you speak to his doctor, there are medications that stimulate the stomach to empty more efficiently and enmzyes to help with digestion. My Mom used both, which did help. She also used to love chocolate malts from a real ice cream store.
