For the last couple of years I've been very worried about my dad's weight loss.....about a stone for no reason. Dad is 93 and does not have dementia, is very physically fit and independent (he's still in England, lives on his own) but for a long while found it very difficult to eat much, said food had no taste. He has recently been taken off his PPIs (Ranitidine and Omeprazole) and has found that he has more appetite and has actually put on a little bit of weight Not a dementia problem as such, but I wondered if it might also cause an eating problem with some pwds.......I know not eating is associated with the disease, but maybe occasionally it's more of a medication side effect. I was gobsmacked when he told me.....had researched many possible reasons for it but never thought it might be his meds!
