The same symptoms will also go away if you take an antacid such as Tums since they are truly the result from excess stomach acid.  But since they go away after you eat food, you draw the reasonable conclusion the symptoms were due to low levels of blood sugar or some other nutrient.   Consequently, you believe your symptoms are a sign of hunger or “low blood sugar”.  So the next time you feel similar symptoms, you’ll eat food again and the symptoms go away again.  After a while it becomes almost second nature.
