Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The uncomfortable that you are having even after having food can be indicative of peptic ulcer or diabetes.
Peptic ulcers can be caused by infection by bacteria called Heliobacter pylori or by excessive use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. One of the most telling signs of a peptic ulcer is a constant, gnawing hunger, which often occurs several hours after eating.
If you have diabetes, your body may be starved of energy, which will make you feel hungry even after eating.
Seek medical advice for appropriate investigations to find out the cause if symptoms persist.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
