Strange question..

[Guest guest]

Here is a strange question...

When I get up in the mornings or when I have not eaten in a while and I get real hungry, I get the urge to have to use the bathroom... #2... is that strange? Sometimes when I eat it goes away and sometimes it doesn't... Does anyone else have this experince? Any reason why?

Hi Arman;

This is probably related to the levels of a hormone called " Ghrelin " ,

which is secreted by the stomach. It's thought to be a " hunger

hormone " . It affects gastrointestinal secretions, motility and bowel

movement frequency. The serum level of this hormone is often

increased in inflammatory bowel disease:

Thanks Dave. Is there something to take for it so I just need to constantly eat.

Amazingly what really helps is Sweat and Sour Tufo from Pei Wei. Extra ginger and extra sauce. Is it the ginger?
