Hungry after eating. Will this last forever?

by constanthunger, Jun 04, 2009 09:23PM
Hey everyone!

I have been hungry constantly (can't fill my appetite) since March 2009. Food sometimes make the hunger go away briefly. The hunger is sometimes painful too. I have done blood work (to check for diabetes, my thyroid etc) - everything is good. I've also checked for ulcers - I'm good there too. I'm 22 years old, weigh 164 and I'm 6' 2". I usually eat regular, well-balanced meals. Since the hunger started, I've been eating a lot more - sometimes when I'm eating the hunger stops, but it returns in full force as soon as I'm done eating. I've been eating 5 BIG meals every day and can't gain any weight. Sometimes I can eat upwards of two pounds without stopping! Hungry all day, when I wake up, when I go to sleep.

I have a history of acid reflux - but it doesn't feel quite like that - I'm trying TUMs right now (seems like not helping) and trying prilosec too (it fixed my reflux in the past).

Some people tell me it's just that I'm going through adolescent hunger later in life - but this goes beyond.

I've seen three physicians, no one has been able to help. It's very frustrating. Should I see some kind of specialist or am I seeing the wrong doctors? Does anyone know anything about this? I saw the post from someone who has had this condition for 12 years - I've only had it for a few months and it's already driving me crazy. I'm DESPERATE!

Would an appetite suppressant work (or is that totally nuts)?

Thanks!
