    Thank you, I have another suggestion with food that has helped me with my MIL that is I give her an ensure with her meds. She was going through some depression and wasn't eating so we started her on ensure. Then I noticed she would often choke when taking her meds with water, but with the ensure there was no choking. It helped me I hope it helps someone else.

    We have the opposite problem. My mother-in-law is always hungry or at least thinks she is. She frequently eats throughout the day. She will eat 2 or 3 bananas then say she only ate one. Tomatoes are especially a problem. She really likes the fresh tomatoes from our garden and will take one from the fruit bowl into her room eat it and drip juice on the carpet. We provide her with 3 meals a day and snacks and she has actually gained weight since moving in with us 2 months ago. We have since put the fruit bowl up in the cupboard so she can't reach it on her own. Any thoughts on this?

    Do you have any credentials? You have some good information and I just wonder where it’s coming from (research, hospitals, facilities?)

    My 94 year old mother has stage 4-5 Alzheimers and lives on her own. She has carers twice a day for medical, meals and light household tasks. Mother has now reached the stage where she cannot remember how to use her hob or oven safely to heat up her paltry evening meal, so her cooker has now been disconnected.. Her carers have been attempting to instruct her on how to use her microwave and have had to hide her steamer,used for vegetables. Mother's appetite is decreasing weekly. She relies on biscuits to sustain her diet and has reduced her luncheon intake substantially. Mother does not wear dentures or have diabetes, nor is she on medication relative to her Alzheimers. She is just getting less able to self sustain but refuses to consider going into a Care Home.
