Just curious how it is for others. Yes, I know a feeling of fullness is an IBS symptom. I usually eat every couple of hours, but even when I don't, I rarely actually feel hungry.

No, I do get hungry (at least when I'm not in the middle of an attack) - but I think taking the Buscopan has helped since I'm no longer constantly bloated. I'm just getting into the routine of snacking, since my previous coping strategy for IBS-D was just not to eat!!

Now I even get hungry when I miss a snack that I'm used to!
I can really tell when my blood sugar gets low, so maybe that's part of it.

Mine never stops working. All I want to do is eat.

I wish mine worked better. For me, part of the joy of looking forward to a good meal is being hungry for it!

...just eat according to the clock to get the calories I need. But never feel true hunger and always feel full, with exception of breakfast.

I hear ya, I'm the same way, have been that way for awhile. Now I'm pregnant, so I really have to force feed myself. My hunger signals haven't worked right in about 3 or 4 years since all the problems started. How about for you?

I rarely feel hunger anymore and that's eerie. I'm starting to drink "sugar" calories just to fuel the brain. (Although it's better to eat the fruit or veg. for carbs.) I get full so very fast, when I do eat. It could just be the heat and stress playing a huge roll.
I don't wake-up hungry and I really don't get hungry and such an ever increasingly small amount of food fills me up.
If I can't finish what I've put on my plate then it goes in the garbage versus feeling unbearable discomfort.
Kate, IBS-D.

I don't get hungry very often, at least not what you would call "stomach hunger." Usually I feel so bloated that you'd think I just had a five course meal. However, if I haven't eaten for about four or five hours, I start to get kind of shaky and lightheaded, so I know it's time to eat!
I have to eat according to the clock to get the calories and nutrients I need, but I miss the sensation of being hungry.
My signals have also been sort of turned around due to my long term battle with eating disorders.
Sometimes I feel like I am stuffing myself, and it seems incredibly counterintuitive. But I just have to keep telling myself that I need to be eating regularly, and that my body will hopefully adjust in time. I have realized that a feeling of emptiness in the stomach is not the only sign that you need to eat!
