Extreme hunger that cannot be satisfied

[jlogan]

Hi Shelley,
I have been EXTREMELY hungry for the last few 2 weeks. No matter how much I eat, it's never enough. I feel like there is a pit in my stomach and I can't fill it up!! I eat a huge meal, feel full for all of 20 minutes and then go right back to feeling like I'm starving. Do you have any idea of what might cause this? I was thinking a tapeworm, but I don't really know if it's true that tapeworms make you so hungry. I started on anti-parasitic herbs just in case (I have a liver fluke problem anyways!) and so far they aren't helping. I'm in agony over here!!

It could be you've raised the power of your digestion too much, or are experiencing the effects of a clean liver for the first time. Cut back on pungent therapy, digestive aids, teas, etc. Eat more fats, they increase satiety, and fiber. If after doing all that the symptom persists, get your thyroid checked.
