Feeling full...

Lately, every time I eat I have been feeling "full" for a really long time afterwards. Had brunch on Sunday and felt full/ill until Tuesday at dinner. Am not on any enzymes. Is this normal?
Thanks,
MJ

How's your "output"?

Sometimes fullness can be caused by constipation, reflux, other times it can be caused by delayed emptying or can even be caused by something that you've eaten -- too much fat...

Have they ever done a fecal fat test to determine whether you are pancreatic sufficient or insufficient?

You might talk to a GI doctor about getting tested for a slow-emptying stomach. I had the test (you drink a barium shake and they x-ray you every 30 minutes to an hour to see how long it takes your stomach to empty. It took me a good 4-5 hours, and they said that my gut runs at a rate of 67% of expected/normal.
