I have chronic pain triggered by/related to eating, tied to celiac, dysphagia and maybe gerd. The odd thing is the pain is relieved while eating and 5-10 minutes afterwards, and in the past the discomfort used to spur me to keep eating.
I can’t really say the pain is lessened by hunger, because I spend plenty of time hungry and also in pain (I’ve lost 45 lbs since Jan 1). Hunger is enough to spur me to eat, despite that it’s almost always miserable later after I eat. Desire to not starve,
or eat when very hungry, is one of the strongest urges, though, which would seem to overcome pain. Perhaps that’s precisely what they mean. I’ll be observing my own sensations in relation to this.
