Anyone else get really, really hungry?

I dont know anyone else that seems to get as hungry as I do between meals. I probably eat more than anyone else I know. Anybody the same?
 
I kinda feel this way. If I get hungry and I dont eat I will have a complete melt down. Start shaking and feeling like I am going to pass out. Im pretty sure I will never be malnourished from my CD. I feel like I have to have a little more then a snack between meals. Like a Jr meal.

sashaz what meds are you on? there are some meds that increase your appetite like prednisone.

SamJorgyne have you ever had a problem with your blood sugar? I get really shaky if I don't eat, its usually when my blood sugar gets low. Its called hypoglycemia. I don't think there is actually a treatment for it, but I might be wrong. I usually feel better after I eat an apple or something with a lot of sugar
 
Im on Pred and my hunger is insane. Before i went onto Pred i didnt really feel like eating as i found it hard to without getting cramps etc.
Im not having meals double the size and snacking like a rabbit!
That said, it doesnt help me in the short term because i get Dia and im constantly on the toilet the next day!!
 
Sashaz youre not alone im always peckish! try small regular meals (like 5or 6) rather than 3 large meals. also more filling foods rather than empty calories. feel better
