Hi,
It seems that this might be due to 1,withdrawal side effect of quit Gutkha.
2, as your urine is yellow and there is loss of appetite, possibility of having jaundice should be ruled out.
Go for urine for bile salt and pigment.
Go for liver function tests like, S. bilirubin, direct and indirect.
SGOT, SGPT.
If this is due to gutkha withdrawal, gradually it will be alright.
If jaundice is there, consult your doctor and go for treatment.
Ok and take care.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
Loss of appetite and other symptoms can be associated with quitting gutka. Gutka is addictive and when body gets rid of adiction, it is usual to have some resistance. Don't worry.
Have lot of liquid and citrus fruit juices and leafy vegetables. Don't restart gutka. This problems might be there for a week or so. That is all.
Good luck,
