i get this feeling in my stomach and it's kinda like heartburn or hunger and it goes away for a tiny bit if i drink water. my stomach almost never growls either, so sometimes i go an entire day w/o eating. what's the best thing i should do?
note: i'm an 18-year-old girl that's 5'2'' and around 110 pounds)

    I'm pretty sure if you aren't eating all day and feel a feeling "kinda like hunger," it's probably hunger. The best thing to do is eat.

    I can tell I'm full when I look like pregnant after a spartan dinner. I've noticed I don't feel the hunger anymore, I eat when it's time for me to eat, or when I feel too weak :)

    Please eat. Not eating all day is bad. And sounds anorexic. Sorry, don't want to label. But that is what that behavior is. Please eat healthy, whole foods.

    I usually go by what I'm hungry for. If I only want one particular food, or some kind of sweet, I know I'm not hungry. But if I'm hungry for just about anything, then I know that my body really wants food.
