Why do I sometimes feel nauseous when really hungry?

When you're really hungry, your stomach acid levels increase in preparation for digestion. This can irritate the lining of your stomach, causing nausea. Additionally, when you're hungry, your body produces a hormone called ghrelin, which can also contribute to feelings of nausea.

Here are some tips to help reduce nausea when you're hungry:

* Eat small meals more frequently throughout the day instead of three large meals.

* Avoid foods that are high in fat or sugar, as these can worsen nausea.

* Drink plenty of fluids, as dehydration can also contribute to nausea.

* If you're feeling nauseous, try eating something bland, such as crackers or toast.

* Avoid lying down after eating, as this can make nausea worse.

* If nausea persists, talk to your doctor.
