Hunger in the night

[Guest guest]

Hello all

Just a quick question -- I was wondering if anyone knew of a gi issue that

would cause hunger in the night; creating a sleep disturbance.

My daughter; 20 HEDS with chronic gastritis, reverse motility and somewhat

of a dumping syndrome has been having this in the last month. Of course I

need to take her to the GI doc -- but the one she was seeing prior to this

refuses to see her now that she is over 19. She says that if she does not

eat twice at night - once immediately before bed; that she will wake and be

hungry and if she lets it go she will be too hungry and in pain to eat the

next day. Prior to the EDS dx she was always off the chart off the records -

below - in weight. The meds have helped her to put on some weight; so that

she does not look so emaciated and anorexic. This is not psychological.

I am thinking it is nutritional? Part of the dumping syndrome? But

wondering if anyone else is having this?

Thanks in advance.
