Can you think of any reasons why I'm always hungry but yet have a fullness?

I've been to the doctor for this and other issues.
I've been tested for things like H. pylori (negative).
I've been given pills to help with overproduction of stomach acid, though we don't know for sure what the problem is.
When I am eating, and after I eat, I feel like the food is coming back up my throat. And this is while I am seated, not if I were to lie down after, as that would be an obvious explanation.
I'm going to speak to my doctor again. I feel like I eat too much, and especially too close to bedtime as I am always hungry and will not sleep well if I don't eat right before. I know that is bad but I honestly don't know what else to do. Eating hours before bed means I will NOT be able to sleep due to hunger. This is what I've eaten today so far.

7:45 oatmeal (a pack and a half)
9:45 banana
12 noonsausage, potatoes, green beans
3pmtuna and chips
5pm(small helping) left over spaghetti
8pmtalapia and rice

It's 9:40 and I'm hungry again

I am NOT diabetic, nor pregnant.

Over production of acid sometimes occurs when you are not processing fats correctly. You eat some things that would kill my stomach. Bananas, for example. I have a sensitivity to them, and they cause over production of acid for me unless they are cooked. They create gas, as does oatmeal, and fats.

The potatoes are a good pick, because they stay with you longer than pasta and rice.

Try switching to lean meats and fish prepared without butter or fat or mayo, and eliminate acid foods such as spaghetti sauce. Try eating a little bit more protein than what you are eating now...lean protein prepared without fats.

My wife recommended to try an elimination diet such as Whole 30 might help identify the problem as it sounds to her like a food intolerance

@xixgun i have a gluten sensitivity but i dont eat it at all while at work. I eat it very little at home, since i am not allergic. I know my limits with it.

@iamnikki Okay, I just had a whole dissertation on the topic thrown at me so I’m just going to say “try it “

@iamnikki did you check sugar levels?
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@midnightsun they have been checked. I just said I'm not diabetic..
