What can I do to increase my mother s appetite? My mother is 94 years old. She can take oatmeal and milk in the morning. For her lunch and dinner, she eats very little because she never feel hungry. Because of her limited intake of food, she has ½ bottle of Nepro at lunch and dinner. She is taking Pariet in the morning to take care of her blurping. She is taking medicine: Novarsc/Hydrin/Aprovel for high blood pressure; Colchicine for gout; Wellbutrin/Remeron/Rivotril for depression; Zocor for cholesterol. What can I do to increase her appetite?
