Hello. Lately, i have bbeen much more hungry then usual. I don't know why. I have been treated for stomache ulcers and abdominal pain for close to 9 years. The pain has been bearable, but i have noticed the more i feel hungry the more it hurts. So i end up eating more. I used to eat once every one or two days, but lately I'm eating 3 or 4 meals a day. I'm a 21 year old male. I eat a ton but it never satisfies me.

that's me in a nutshell. I basically have to eat all the time, the hunger pangs never stop. The more hungry i feel, the more my stomach hurts. I'm 28 years old, female, and basically just eat all day long. I don't gain weight surprisingly, ive lost some pounds.

Have either of you talked to your doctor about your symptoms? Constant pangs of hunger can be a symptom of GERD. In your situation it can be a sign of excessive stomach acid and can be easily confused with being hungry.

SHaronZ,

I've been to doctors for years. They said it's "irritable bowel syndrome". My current doctor thinks it's an ulcer. But that's as far as we got. lol no one has given me meds to help or anything

Elleon:

You need to have some testing to figure out what's going on. My first EGD was done and I found out that I had h-Pylori and ulcers. I suffered from GERD most of my adult life and was pretty successful on Protonix, but eventually needed to have Nissen surgery. Have you considered going to a gastro doctor?
