A member asked:

Can acid reflux make you feel hungry all the time? even after eating? if so, what will help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acid reflux: Sometimes yes. The burning sensation from the reflux is perceived by some people as hunger. You should be treated with medications for reflux. If persisting in spite of medications you might need an upper endoscopy.
