Lethargic, Bloating After Eating, Hunger Levels High, Sleep Patterns Affected. What Could Be The Reason?
Hello -- For almost ten years, I have dealt with the following symptoms that occur immediately after I eat. Within minute of finishing a meal (or even during), I become lethargic. My stomach bloats up and I feel as if I have put on five pounds in a matter of minutes. The lethargy becomes so bad that I often can not function and need to take a nap. At the same time, my hunger levels remain consistently high. I often can regurgitate fully eaten meals a half hour to an hour after intaking the meal. My sleep patterns are affected, as when I wake up, I normally feel as if I haven t slept at all.

1)improper digestion or indigestion
2)consuming excess sweets and excess fats
3)depleted normal colonic flora..or less amount of friendly bacterias in intestines
4)acid peptic disease
5)consuming gas forming food in excess
