Feeling hungry and full at the same time?

I had cereal this morning. But generally felt starving all day, like proper stomach cramping. I ate a sandwich at lunch but felt quite full, still had the hunger pangs throughout the day. I tried to eat a jacket potato with toppings earlier and cannot stomach any of it, my stomach feels full. Even drinking water feels a bit much, as if my stomach has reached capacity and can’t tolerate more. I’m slightly bloated too.

I don’t think I’ve eaten that much today to warrant feeling like this! Anyone felt similar? I wonder if I’m coming down with something. It’s weird to feel so hungry/thirsty yet not being able to satiate it.

Hi OP, the last time I felt like that , I ended up having a tummy bug.
I hope that won't happen to you.
I remember feeling hungry and as you say eating something and then feeling full, I just wasn't digesting anything.
Hope you feel more yourself soon.

Could it be heartburn? Maybe try some Gaviscon and see if that helps?

It sounds like when I had gastritis. It felt like my stomach was full and not digesting properly. I went to the GP and she prescribed a course of Lansoprazole and it fixed it.
