4. two ideas

I was very sick a few years ago and couldn't really eat.

I was told by the hospital to get some ENSURE it is called to get some weight on and to provide vitamins, etc. It helped and was not bad taste wise. They had chocolate and vanilla flavors and you can buy it at COSTCO, etc. as it comes in cases. You can also find it at CVS pharmacy, Rite-Aid, etc. Check around as it is not cheap.

I had a craving for tapioca of all things. I was eating stacks of it and found out it is a root commonly used in So. America for stomach problems. You might try that too as it is easy to digest. I also had serious cravings for ... vanilla ice cream!

Wish I had better ideas. Its difficult when you are sick and can't get out much and shop around as you are so very exhausted.

He might try some CBD cannabis edibles if you are in a place where you can obtain such items.

I hope he gets better soon! Take care yourself!
