Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.

Whenever i feel hungry and dont feel imeediately, even if i delay for 5 minutes. The hunger increases like anything and I feel dizzy. After that no matter how much i eat my hunger is not satisfied for 3-4 days. After having small frequent meals in those 3-4 days i am back to normal. Does this happen to anyone else? Please reply. I am so worried about it.

It could be blood sugar related- for some people even a small drop can cause issues. Try a small snack in between the 3-4 times per day or consider keeping a small snack on hand just in case. I have the same problem and find it can really help. Also make sure you are getting enough fluids as this could cause the same problem, since our hunger receptors also can kick in when we are low on fluids too.

Is this a sign that I have diabetes?

The hallmark sign of diabetes as far as I know is peeing increase. (Drastic).

If you are concerned about it, try to call the doctor and let them know what you are experiencing. If you can't get to the doctor, don't be afraid to ask the nurse to pass the message along and tell them you need a callback with a response.

Sounds like you have hypoglycemia, not diabetes although it's always good to get your blood tested anyway. Candida can cause IBS and hypoglycemia. I have both, not fun! You need to cut out all sugar except fruit and make sure you have protein, fat and a complex carb (i.e. brown bread or brown rice) at each meal/snack. You should be eating every 2-3 hours if necessary.

Good luck!

One thing I know about this particular condition is that it is also triggered by stress. I get damn hungry during stress situations.

Sometimes spasms makes one feel hungry. I get that way, thinking how could I be hungry then realized they were spasms making me feel that way.

Take a probotic everyday and drink some water and just wait and see if that helps.

I met my doc, he said your sugar level falls down.

Happy to hear that you have news. Did he give you any advice on how to handle it? Hopefully so and also hopefully you feel better soon.

He just asked me to cut down sugar intake except fruits and to take small meals every two hours (that is what i am already doing). I have to get my blood sugar tested tomorrow before and after having the breakfast and then have to see him again. I hope theres nothing serious.

It will be okay. Know I am thinking of you and wishing for the best as well.

I am getting tired of this. The situation is not getting better. I feel dizzy and my body starts shivering but if i check the blood sugar it is normai. I just had Glucose Tolerance Test today. LEts see what happens.

Thinking of you! Know you are not alone. They will figure this out, in time. As someone once told me, they eventually run out of tests and find an answer. Hang in there and stay strong!
