Patient's question:
Yesterday, soon after having breakfast, I started feeling bloated. All through the afternoon, my stomach was still in pain. It seems like nothing was absorbed. For dinner, I only ate a little. Even now, I still feel bloated. I keep passing gas. I used to have stomach problems, but they hadn't flared up for two years. Should I take some medicine now?Doctor's answer:
Your good friend, this situation should first be considered due to poor gastrointestinal motility. Gastric diseases require three parts of treatment and seven parts of nourishment, so poor treatment effects may be due to dietary adjustments not being made. For now, it is recommended to take oral medications that promote gastrointestinal motility. At the same time, pay attention to your diet: avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more foods rich in fiber, which can help improve gastrointestinal motility. Additionally, avoid overeating and consuming high-sugar, high-fat foods.
