Hi, I am hoping someone can help me... I am a 25 year old female that gets light-headed when eating. It only seems to happen when I eat a large meal. By the time I get to the middle of my meal, I feel jittery and like I am going to pass out.. Does anyone know if this is a hormone thing, or if there is a problem in the digestive tract? :confused:

Try eating smaller meals and see if the problem continues. If it does, see a doctor to rule out the problem.
Are you by chance eating too fast, breathing too fast? Try eating slowly and chew food well each bite. If breathing too fast, it could be causing hyperventilation which will cause vital organs to be deprived of oxygen and the result is the body panics. A light head can result.
