Posted on Sun, 29 Sep 2019
Question: hi. lately i have been slightly constipated during the day and ill eat all my meals without pooping (which is unusual for me)... then if i eat a big dinner, ill have bad cramps and eventually poop alot. usuelly like 20-30 min after eating dinner. then, after i poop, i get really hungry... even though i just ate dinner.

what is going on? is the poop making my blood sugar low, like reactive hypoglycemia?

i dont want to eat because i just ate but my body is sending the wrong signals!

Brief Answer:
Reactive hypoglycemia is usually very uncommon.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
Have seen your details,
As per your previous history you are suffering from severe stress. When a person is in stress his autonomous nerves gets activated which are not in control of brain.Very likely cause of your problem is related to stress(even constipation too) because nerves induces movements in intestines which can be increased/decreased/both in case of severe stress.
For making any comment on reactive hypoglycemia i need your blood sugar levels at the time you feel hungry after pooping.Just blind fold guesses wont help.
Just bring a glycometer from nearest store and take your glucose readings today and reply me tomorrow about the readings.

Follow up with blood sugar readings.
Thanks!
