Does the speed of digestion change based on how hungry or starved you are?

Does the speed of digestion (acidity/strength of stomache acid?) change if you are more hungry and slow down if you are full? Or is it fairly consistent regardless of your current state of hunger?

It does not speed up. If anything it slows down due to blood being directed to other organs, this is especially true when starved. Your metabolism slows down aswell. There is no reason for the body to speed up digestion when there is nothing to digest. This is a huge waste of energy.
