Why when im hungry do I feel sick?
When you’re hungry, the hydrochloric acid in your empty stomach can slosh about and hit the lower oesophageal sphincter (the valve that holds the top of your stomach closed). This is also what happens when you throw up, and it triggers similar feelings of nausea.
How do you fix nausea from not eating?
Drinking ginger tea or ginger ale containing root ginger can help settle the stomach. Mint tea, sweets, or chewing gum may help with nausea. Drinking small sips of fluids can help with symptoms of nausea, such as excess saliva. Eating plain foods may prevent feelings of nausea.

What is Your Body Telling you when you feel hungry?
Hormones that tell your body you’re hungry: Ghrelin is considered the main hunger hormone. It is secreted by the cells that line the stomach when the stomach is empty and also by the pancreas when it detects low blood sugar. Also, the liver secretes ghrelin when its glycogen storage runs low (and glucagon is high).
What happens in your body when you get hungry?

What do you do when you feel hungry?

Is it bad to eat only when hungry?
When you struggle daily with your weight and stress relentlessly about what, when and how much to eat, telling yourself to only eat when you’re hungry is not only bad for you – it’s a bit mean. It’s OK to feel hungry sometimes; your goal should not be to obliterate hunger altogether.
