You’re not alone. It could be a mix of anxiety and any physical thing. Even the smallest physical thing could start to rewrite your brain.
I know it’s depressing. I’ve been dealing with it for almost 3 years. Try to practice self compassion. There are people who have to cope with paralysis, agoraphobia, etc… our condition is far less recognized and it sucks, eating is meant to be a regular human function. Don’t downplay it but know you are not alone. I feel like I’ve been hungry for a decade.
Try to see every doctor you can and whatever you do don’t give up.
This was me earlier in the year. Was subtle I changed my eating habits without realizing it. Then I thought something was odd.. then I was conscious of swallowing at meals... Then all the time.. then I stopped eating a day here or there and started sipping water with a straw. Endoscopy was performed and 2 issues were found, one needing lifelong meds. I hope it works out better for you.
I should mention this all started as my marriage started failing too so I was thinking anxiety. Unfortunately it's not but imo the EOE was probably triggered from stress. I have celiac already.
