A member asked:

Is it harmful for the stomach to feel hunger. i sometimes when i'm sleepy at night i don't eat i feel slight hunger. i'm ibs.

No worries: It's pretty normal to have that sensation when you are used to eat every 4-6 hours and you have skiped a meal. But if that symptom is persistent you may consult your GI doctor.
