Hunger pangs

Posted by soconfused @soconfused, Jan 15, 2020

No matter what I eat I'm starving right after!
I can eat a meal and feel full or feel like i haven't eaten in days AS I'm eating.
If I feel as though I am full, within 5 minutes I am starving again!
My starving feeling makes me sick to my stomach and I have dry heaves.
I have tried eating more fiber foods, water foods or just drinking water before meals, during meals and after meals. Nothing works!

Hello @saintstone33 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can see you are interested in connecting with @soconfused as you have experienced similar symptoms.

How long has this been going on for you and have you had any blood work done like @imallears had suggested previously in the discussion?

Going on 6 years now and yes ive been tested very thoroughly. So far have fat malabsorption diagnosed with small bowel ulcers but have tried everything to heal ulcers and nothing has helped & hyperchlorydria & dysbiosis and inflammationin gut. But was negative for crohns and ulcerative colitis. I had stool tests, showing elevated mmp9 & positive ana, blood tests, scope tests but still haven't been able to find anything that helps or a definitive diagnosis. Its killing me
