One question, do you all get indigestion in the middle of the night
around 1-3 A.M.?

I don't get "indigestion"...that implies a bit of nausea, and I never
get that. But then, as far as "hunger" goes, we've already discussed
how far off my calibration is...

....I eat large meals - particularly dinner; beef or pork and
veggies/rice for dinner, generally turkey sandwiches on hearty breads
for lunch. Eggs and bacon for breakfast, with coffee and toast. I'm
fortunate that I can eat just about anything I care for, and I like rich
foods...so LOTS of calories for me. And I still am only 5'10' and
~170lbs. Got up as far as 180lbs once - where I would really like to
stay - but going back to my two-meal/day habit dropped some pounds back
off me...I really need to eat three meals/day...danggit.

I avoid acidic foods, like citrus and tomatoes...so no red Italian
sauces, and that is of course what I miss the most. But by and large,
I'll intake full solid meals but by the clock v.s. as driven by
"hunger". I could starve myself for days if I neglected to cook just
because I was feeling droopy and also didn't "feel hungry"...and have
done so on occasion.

Something else I've recently correlated - I have more energy when I have
diarrhea. I've been more regular for the past three weeks, and very run
down for the same amount of time - way more than usual. Previously I
had been a bit diuretic but a bit more peppy...I haven't figured out
which gives rise to which, but I'm gonna watch myself and see how I fare...

Stupid question lol...but how well do you swallow water, drinks, and
food? I'm thinking the suction effect that occurs when swallowing has
a large part in this.

And the lack of this effect at night when we get a dry mouth and don't
swallow often is probably important.
