For the last few months I've been finding that no matter what I eat I get very tired after I'm done. It can be a sandwich and salad or chicken piccata with pasta - doesn't matter. I get a slight headache and I usually end up with a bit of a stomachache. but more than anything, I feel like I could go to bed and sleep for a week afterwards. Anyone else experience this?
I'm 41 and not pregnant.

I have the same difficulty myself , I'm 49 and I take a medication for acid reflux to slow the production of stomach acids . The digestive system most certainly taxes our body's energy to some degree as we see many animals in the wild take a nap immediately after eating . My theory is perhaps if our body's are taxed in other ways it leaves little energy in reserve for the digestive process causing this sleepiness . I wonder if antacid medication may cause such a reaction also . Perhaps eating at different times of the day during our higher energy cycles may be of some relief . I have an upcoming doctors appointment and will ask this question and make a note of it . It would seem a common problem but I hear few complaints from others so I'm not sure . Perhaps a checkup would be in order for you as well . I wouldn't be surprised if this condition has a medical term associated with it .
