When you eat, if you have insulin resistance, a huge bolus of insulin is released inappropriately. This increases activity of Cox-2 prostaglandins/cytokines which are inflammatory. You can test this by trying some aspirin before you eat. 45 minutes before. If some of the burning is blocked, then inflammation is a clue for you.

You should have a fasting INSULIN done to see if it is elevated.
This can reveal a trend to impaired glucose tolerance which is pre-diabetic.

People with reactive changes in blood sugar at meals, often get gustatory sweating. If you get sweating with the burning that would be another sign of latent diabetes.
