Acidity does not necessarily increase hunger. Acidity is basically gastitis, it causes sudden but severe inflammation that may last for a day or two, while chronic causes loss of appetite due to long-term inflammation and can lead to other conditions too. Diabetes can cause hyperphagia, polyphagia and polyuria.
