how do you know when your hungry?

HI does anyone else suffer with not knowing when they are hungry or thirsty, I cant seem to tell anymore. I get pain when I eat, I get pain when I dont eat, If i dont eat for 7 hours(cos I cant eat at work) I get pain so I eat then I get more pain so Im not sure when Im hungry also When I do eat I dont know when Im full. Anyone..........Help x

That's a good question. Maybe try munching on saltine crackers just to keep something in your stomach, and since they are so dry rinse them down with water. Maybe you need to have frequent small snacks. When I was flaring that is what I did and it seemed to help. I also lived off of gingerale. Hope that helps.

Try drinking hot tea, it's supposed to soothe your stomach. Right now in remmision, I don't feel hunger so my parents just monitor me so they know I eat.

Usually if I see food I'm hungry. Doesn't mean I eat.

I eat small meals about 4-5 times a day. When real bad I eat a few saltines and a small amout of water. Wait an hour or 2 and repeat. If it bothers me I drink warm jello water and eat jello. I hate jello. OOPS wrong thread.

Hmmmm...... some days, I don't remember to eat until it's almost dinner time. Other day, I'm starving all day long.

A lot of times, Josh has asked me if I've eaten. That tends to remind me.
