TWIL: Sneezing/”Snatiation”

I recently had just an awful sneezing attack. I sneezed twice a minute for at least 15 minutes. When it happened again a few days later, I of course, thought “nasal cancer,” but no.

Evidently people on GLP1s have a new way for our bodies to signal they are sated – or experiencing satiety, or satiation. The stomach signals the vagus nerve and that causes attacks of sneezing, or – hah – “snatiation.

That article above sounded familiar. My food tracker said on the days of these sneezing attacks I ate a small breakfast, forgot it, ate another small breakfast because otherwise I would forget to eat breakfast, can’t have that, and then somehow ate a normal lunch. And then sneezed and sneezed and etc.

I had a friend with a nose that ran after every meal. Evidently, it’s the same thing.
