Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Here is a strange question... When I get up in the mornings or when I have not eaten in a while and I get real hungry, I get the urge to have to use the bathroom... #2... is that strange? Sometimes when I eat it goes away and sometimes it doesn't... Does anyone else have this experince? Any reason why? arman_shirin@... Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi Arman; This is probably related to the levels of a hormone called " Ghrelin " , which is secreted by the stomach. It's thought to be a " hunger hormone " . It affects gastrointestinal secretions, motility and bowel movement frequency. The serum level of this hormone is often increased in inflammatory bowel disease: http://gut.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/55/3/432 Best regards, Dave R. > When I get up in the mornings or when I have not eaten in a while and I get real hungry, I get the urge to have to use the bathroom... #2... is that strange?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Thanks Dave. Is there something to take for it so I just need to constantly eat. Amazingly what really helps is Sweat and Sour Tufo from Pei Wei. Extra ginger and extra sauce. Is it the ginger? arman_shirin@... Re: Strange question..
