Why do you feel hungry even if you don’t digest it?

Hungry despite indigestion may be caused by excessive gastric acid secretion.

If the patient has diseases such as gastritis or gastric ulcer, it will cause indigestion. In addition, it may also cause excessive secretion of gastric acid, so he will feel hungry. If this happens, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a gastroscopy examination. If there are diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcer, you need to use drugs that suppress gastric acid for treatment, such as omeprazole. You can also use drugs that increase gastric motility, such as domperidone.

People with indigestion should eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating.
