Okay, I think this is going to sound odd but I am not hungry at all because since yesterday morning I feel as if I have a wad of food stuck in my throat and my tummy is so full.

I did 35 minutes of Curves cardio, then drove to my other gym to see the biokineticist, whom I worked with for 45 minutes and by the time I got home, 15 minutes later, I was heavily bloated. I bloated to the point where the loose T.shirt I put on at the start of exercising, was tight on my tummy 2 hours later. Which is why my dinner then consisted of yoghurt and nuts.

This morning, I feel as if I just ate half a horse and I have just woken up. I am so full! (TMI) And I have had normal bowel movements.

What is going on?

    Um, I don't want to scare you, but don't you think you ought to see a doctor? This sounds a little concerning.

    Thank you @LAWoman72. Will check in with the doctor later!

    Sigh! I was hoping to hear something like - "Nah! Don't worry! It's okay this happens to me all the time when .....!"

    Because I actually feel otherwise quite good.

    Sounds a lot whollle lot like how I was feeling when I was pregnant. The "food in the throat" was actually really bad indigestion and the fullness was normal pregnancy bloat.

    Sometimes if I don't eat enough then I will feel very bloated. Like eat breakfast then nothing til dinner, by dinner I'm full feeling/bloated but hungry,

    See a dr for piece of mind but don't sound alarming to me

    Thanks @Ameengyrl . I can't get pregnant so it it wasn't that but it probably was indigestion . I had coffee this morning then only ate at 12:00 noon because I really was not hungry at all till then. The bloating has gone down. I'll monitor over the next couple of days and if it happens again, I'll go get a check up.

    The symptoms you're describing are parts of my symptoms living with acid reflux & IBS. If that's what it is, don't worry. It's manageable, especially once you figure out your worst triggers. Unfortunately, that takes some serious trial & error. But, as everyone else said...go to your doctor. :)

    Google doctor here:

    Is that enough to move you to see a live doctor?

    Going to doc then. I'd close the post now if I could but don't know how to.
    Thanks for the input.

    I wouldn't necessarily feel that this is a huge issue if it only happened this once and it goes away. If it doesn't then yes I would get to a medical professional. If you have this food in the throat feeling or difficulty swallowing often it could be that your thyroid is enlarged and again, go see a medical professional.

    Have you dealt with acid reflux or heartburn? That "food lodged" feeling is a sure sign. Biggest culprit? Bread. Paleo/Primal is what you want to look into. Avoid breads and processed foods at all costs. GL

    Yes, this. I have both and have begun a low FODMAP diet which is working so far.
